CONTENT VALIDATION FORM

Dear Mr. Daryl Byron Famador,

Greetings! The following scales contain 2 domains, and 20 items related to Job Satisfaction. The 20
items are divided into Intrinsic and Extrinsic domains. Intrinsic job satisfaction considers work demand
and tasks that make up the job. In this study, this will be measured by 12 items: (1) Ability Utilization,
(2) Achievement, (3) Activity, (4) Advancement, (5) Compensation, (6) Co-workers, (7) Creativity, (8)
Independence, (9) Moral values, (10) Social services, (11) Social Status, and (12) Working conditions.
Extrinsic job satisfaction considers the work conditions of the job, such as your pay, coworkers, and
supervisor. In this tool, this will be measured by 6 items: (1) Authority, (2) Company policies and
practices, (3) Recognition, (4) Responsibility, (5) Security, and (6) Variety. The overall score is the
Overall/General Satisfaction. This will be used as the research instrument for the researcher’s study
entitled: “Level of Job Satisfaction among Practicing Occupational Therapists in the Visayas Region,
Philippines Proposed: Work Adjustment Guidelines”

Kindly review the appropriateness of each item in relation to the construct based on the definition
provided. If applicable, you may also provide comments or suggestions on the items in terms of, but
not limited to, sentence structure, grammar, and word choice.
