Introduction
Job is the work that a person does regularly in order to earn money. When performed by
an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consist of duties and responsibilities. This means that
a job is very important and in exchange for money, you will do the responsibilities that you are
given. Often when we refer to us the job or work, few questions are raised like "what motivates
people to do something?, How do people feel about job satisfaction?". The reasons why people
take job easily because mostly people take opportunities to make money thats why most people
suffer about a job or they are not satisfied in their job. According to Martin G. Wolf that the
individual through variety of reasons, tends to achieve the highest level of satisfaction that will
provide pleasure, contention and fulfillment and in parallel, will identify ways of reduction and
eventual prevention of failures (Zlate,1981). This means that the individual tend to have many
reasons in their job, the person wants satisfaction to their job and a person will continue to
contain himself/herself.
In this paper, it focuses the perception the BHW(Barangay Health Workers) on their
salary per month because they usually get low salary for the duties they made once a week.
Satisfaction is one of the factors of the overall efficiency of work performed. This means that an
individual with job arises from satisfaction and the satisfaction will manage a person in doing
something. This can build and defined as the events that give rise to a subjective feeling of relief,
pleasure which may expressed or described by the individual who is experiencing it, but cannot
be seen from the outside by the other person(Manthis,1997). This means a person is subjective to
express its feelings and relief if satisfaction is not achieved and this give rises that job

In finding a great job, it is hard to pick the right job that suits you well. Many people
actually gets wrong about their job choices and suffer in their job. The purpose of this research is
to find the perception of the Barangay Health Workers of Masaplod Sur Dauin Negros Oriental
on their salary per month because as observed, BHW have plenty of work but they only have a
salary of 550 pesos per month . The general objective of this study is to find out the job
employment, weather oral or written, express or implied and by recognized rights and duties.
This means that an employee or a worker has their own responsibility as a worker, they cannot
stop their duties because they are employed to their duties and this leads to consuming their time
to do anything else to have money. In addition, If a person dislike his/her job, that person could
experience fatigue easily because of the stress and pressure he/she puts in a job. This arises that
It is important to know yourself before you job because you can help yourself by knowing
yourself.
Furthermore, this study can help individual people should be aware of how job
satisfaction can affect an individual. And It can help children to make them be aware of
themselves in order to make right choices in life and pick the right occupation that suits their
personality.
This study focuses on the perception an employee about their job satisfaction of their
salary per month. The theory will guide this study throughout and this is called Herzberg's
man has two sets of needs. Needs as an animal to avoid pain and his need as human to grow
psychologically. These findings led them to advance a "dual factor" theory of motivation. Since
that time, the theory has caught the attention of both industrial managers and psychologist. The
subjects were requested to recall a time when they had felt exeptionally good about their jobs.
The investigators sought by further questioning for the reasons of their feelings of satisfaction
and weather their feelings of satisfaction had affected their performance. Finally the sequence of
events that served to return the workers attitude to normal was incited. This means that the two
factor theory was illustrated as to the job and their satisfaction about their job.
According to the theory, the satisfiers are related the nature of work itself and the rewards
that how directly from performance to work. On the other hand the dissatisfaction factors are
associated with the individual's relationship to the context on the environment in which he/she
does his/her work. This means that dissatisfaction only arises if the environment is bad
surrounding his/her job just like the low salary that he/she receives. Working conditions affect

can facilitate community participation Health system and educate providers about health needs
and outcomes of care meaning the role of being a health worker is more than going to the

assisting each and everyone in the field of health. A community heal workers creates programs
that could also serve as a vital resources for recruiting community members into health related
careers. The federal government should find basic research community health workers including
randomizes trials of community health workers interventions such as those currently being
supported by the National Heart,Lung and Blood Institute and the National Center for Nursing
research(L. Bone,1993). This means that community health workers are important due all health

The present approach was launched from the foundation provided by the Picker Institute
in its qualitative work exploring employee perceptions of the barriers providing patient-centered
care (Picker Institute,2000). The provider institute conducted focus groups with 326 professional
health care providers in four United States cities. This all means that the picker the picker

about their work ( Spence,1985). This means that work values and their subsequent effect on
work related could cause emotions, cognitions, or behaviors that may result to job satisfaction or
dissatisfaction. The effect of the value you put in a job could cause something to happen. If
values are relatively stable, It would be important to examine role of selecting a job in a process

According to Edward & Lymanw (2001), It is not hard to see how the assumption that
high performance came to be popularly accepted. Not only did it fit into value system, job
satisfaction have data support at this point. This means that If a person experience high
satisfaction of his/her job, It is not hard to see the high performance of a person.
Some studies even pointed that the job satisfaction relationship provides a convenient
empirical index for examining the more general issues of work and non- work relations. It is the
measure of satisfaction with work, life overall, and specific facets of nonworking life can be
thought of as outcroppings of activities and sentiments in different realms in life. The strength of
empirical relationships among this outcroppings can provide an index of the strength with which
This gives rise to common assumption that employee satisfaction directly effects

Workers to the Job satisfaction, Job dissatisfaction, Job performance and behavior. First the low
salary of the BHW per month is related to the job satisfaction in the fact that if an employee is
happy or contented in a particular job even though the job gives low salary, it achieves job
satisfaction. On the other hand if low salary gives pressure to a person or other factor then it
would lead to dissatisfaction of his/her job. Both job satisfaction and dissatisfaction affect the job
performance because it is weather high or low performance of work. The high performance goes
to the job satisfaction and the low performance goes to the low performance and all behaviors
