Theoretical Framework

This study will be anchored on the idea that the tuition fees spent in college have

proportionality to the monthly salary received by nurses in provincial hospital of South

Cotabato and its impact to their job satisfaction.

The main focus of this study is to determine if the monthly salary received by

nurses make equilibrium to the money spent during college and its possible effect to

their emotional reaction towards their job satisfaction. This determined if all money

spent during college were worth it to receive a set amount of salary after becoming a

professional nurse.

The independent variables are the school fees and the salary since the

researchers wanted to find out the proportionality of these two variables. Job

satisfaction stood as a dependent variable, for the result of two correlated variables was

directly affected by it.

Independent Variable Dependent Variable

Proportionality of:

 School Fees Job Satisfaction

 Monthly salary

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research processes that were related and applicable in

response to the statement of the problem in Chapter 1 which aimed to analyze the

proportionality of the school fees spent in college and the monthly salary of nurses in

South Cotabato Provincial Hospital and its impact to job satisfaction. It included the

research design and the different procedures that were done in order to make the study

attainable.

Research Design

The researcher will use the quantitative research in this study. Further, the

researcher will use non-experimental design, specifically, survey correlational method in

gathering relevant data from the selected respondents. The researcher wanted to know

if there is a significant relationship between the school fees and monthly salaries of

nurses in South Cotabato Provincial Hospital. Furthermore, this entire research is more

on numerical and statistical data since the data that will be gathered is able to be

quantified to come up with a conclusion.

Research Locale

This study will be conducted in the province of South Cotabato, Philippines.

South Cotabato

Figure 2. Location Map of the Study. KNCHS 2021.

South Cotabato is where the researchers live and conducted the study. It is

officially the Province of South Cotabato or Bagatnan nga Kotabato in

Hiligaynon; Habagatang Kotabato in Cebuano; and Kuta Wato Saut in Maguindanaon,

is a province in the Philippines located in the SOCCSKSARGEN region in Mindanao. Its

capital is Koronadal City, and it borders Sultan Kudarat to the north and

west, Sarangani to the south and northeast, and Davao del Sur to the far northeast to

the southeast lies Sarangani Bay. General Santos, which is located on the shores of

Sarangani Bay, is the most populous city in the region, but is governed independently

from the province. The province of Sarangani used to be part of South Cotabato until it

was made an independent province in 1992.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of this study will be nurses from South Cotabato Provincial

Hospital.

Data Gathering Instruments

The researchers will use research questionnaires in gathering the data which are

needed in the study. The questions are translated in English language and are carefully

assisted by the researchers. In measuring the proportionality of school fees and salary,

the researchers assigned the following answers from five (5) down to one (1). The said

questionnaires are validated and approved by two (2) full pledge Master Teachers of

KNCHS, with a mean score of 5 which means that the data is very high valid and can

provide unbiased data for the investigation, allowing 0-5% error.

Data Gathering Procedure

First, the researchers will asked permission to the school principal to let them go

outside the school premises to conduct the study. Then, the researchers will ask

permission from the administrator of South Cotabato capitol. Next, the researchers will

ask permission from the hospital admin to let them conduct the study within the

premises of the hospital. After the permission is approved, the researchers will prepare

the data gathering instruments that are used in gathering relevant answers and
preceded in selecting the respondents for the study. The researchers will ask the

respondents if they have graduated under BSN. Respondents who will answer yes will

be given a questionnaire. Lastly, the researchers will proceed in quantifying and

analyzing the data that are gathered and made an inference out from the answers of the

respondents.

Sampling Technique

The researchers will use non-probabilistic method of sampling in choosing the

respondents for the study. Quota sampling method is used in considering the

representatives of the whole target population. However, not all respondents are

available for answering, so the researchers will use the availability sampling method.

Statistical Treatment

The researchers will use the following statistical treatment in this study:

1. To determine the proportionality of school fees and salary; mean will be

used.

2. To determine the ratings on the job satisfaction of the proportionality of

school fees and salaries; mean will be used used.

3. To find out the significant relationship of the proportionality of school fees

and monthly salaries, and job satisfaction; t-test was used.

In finding the proportionality of school fees and salary, the researchers used of 1-

5 scale ratings, whereas:

5 – Very Highly Proportionate

4 – Highly Proportionate

3 – Proportionate

2 – Fairly Proportionate

1 – Not Proportionate

Likewise, in finding the relationship of the proportionality of school fees and

salary and job satisfaction, the researchers also used of 1-5 scale ratings, whereas:
5 – Very Satisfied

4 – Satisfied

3 – Fairly Satisfied

2 – Poorly Satisfied

1 – Not Satisifed
What is sampling?
It is a process of getting information from a proper subset of population
Choosing of respondents or subjects from a large population to answer your
research questions (selecting only the part of the whole) (Babbie, 2012).
Why do we need to use sampling?
 Get information about large populations
 Less costs
 Less field time
 More accuracy
 When it’s impossible to study the whole population
When will you use the entire population as your sample?
 When your population is very small
 When you have extensive resources
 When you don’t expect a very high response

Take note of the following terms:

Population
-an aggregate or a set of all units/cases (may be people, things, events, etc.) being
studied having at least one common characteristics.
-a big group of people from where you choose the sample
Example:
The total number of carabaos in Barangay X.
All students of KNCHS during the second semester of SY 2017-2018.

SAMPLE
-“a smaller (but hopefully representative) collection of units from a population used to
determine truths about that population” (Field, 2005)
- a chosen set of people to represent the population
-randomly selected subgroup of people or objects from the overall membership pool of
a define target population

SAMPLING UNIT
- term referring to every individual in the population

SAMPLE SIZE
- the number of respondents/subjects that you are going to use in the study
-could be gotten through the use of Slovin’s Formula ( n= N/ 1 + N𝒆^𝟐 )
Remember:
1. You need to use first the Slovin’s Formula in getting the sample.
n= N/ 1 + N𝑒^2
n= sample
N= total population
𝑒^2= margin of error preferred

Ex. Find the sample size required for a population size of 1000 if an error of
0.05 is tolerated.
n= N/ 1 + N𝑒^2
(N= 1000 e= 0.05)
n= (1,000)/1+(1,000)((0.05)(0.05))
n= 286
2. After obtaining the size of the sample, you may now determine the sampling
techniques to be employed.
Factors Affecting Sample Selection
1. Sample size
-How big should the sample be?
- based on other’s previous study on how they got their
sample
-ensure the representativeness or accuracy of sample size
2. Sampling Technique
-two types: probability sampling and non-probability
sampling
-bias is one of the causes of sampling errors (sampling
procedure must be accurate)
3. Heterogeneity of Population
-heterogeneous population is composed of individuals with
varied abilities
4. Statistical Techniques
-accuracy of sample depends on how precise or accurate
your methods are in calculating the numbers used in
measuring the chosen samples or giving a certain value to
each of them
5. Time and Cost
- consider the amount of money you will fork out for the
materials you will need in getting your sample
-time and effort should also be considered in choosing your
sample
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
-each member of the defined population has an equal chance of
being selected
-gives the researcher the opportunity to assess sampling error
-enables investigators to specify the size of the sample that they will
need if they want to obtain degree of certainty that the sample size
would definitely represent the whole
-usually used in descriptive research

Types of Probability Sampling

1. SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING (SRS)

-most basic and commonly-used sampling technique in descriptive research
-can be done through lottery or fish bowl method and also with the use of the table of
random numbers
Procedure in obtaining sample using lottery or fish bowl technique.
 Compute the sample size.
 Determine where will you get your sample.
 Determine the technique in selecting your respondents.
 Make a listing or assign numbers to each of the total population
 Put them in a container or box, then draw the sample.
 After drawing the sample, refer to your listing and determine the actual
names of the respondents.

2. SYSTEMATIC RANDOM SAMPLING

- consists of the selection of each nth term from a list
-you need to obtain first the sample size using the Slovin’s Formula
-the sample size is the basis for the computation of starting number
Ex. Teacher’s Population = 15, 345
Sample size = 390
Computation of nth =N
Cv n
15, 345/390 = 39. 34 or 39 = is the distance
Therefore, your respondents are #s 39, 78, 117, 156, 195, etc. until you have taken
the total computed sample size of 390

Another version of selecting respondents using the systematic random sampling

-Writing numbers 1-10 on a piece of paper, put it in a container, and pick a number.
The number that will be picked will be the starting number and the interval to be used
in the selection of respondents.

3. STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING

-used by making subdivisions of the total population into smaller groups to represent
the sample of the study; Sometimes called "proportional" random sampling
-different strata (groups) in the population are defined and each member of the
stratum is listed
-this type of sampling assures adequate cases for sub-group analysis
-A stratum is a subset of the population that share at least one common
characteristic; such as males and females
Example no. 1:

HOSPITALS in Number of % # of samples to be

Region XII Hospitals drawn
Saranggani 10 10/86x100 = 12% 10 x 12% (0.12) 1
General Santos 15 15/86 = 17% 3
Koronadal City 10 10/86 = 12% 1
South Cotabato 12 12/86 =14% 2
Tacurong City 10 10/86 = 12% 1
Sultan Kudarat 9 9/86 = 10% 1
Cotabato City 9 9/86 = 10% 1
Cotabato Province 11 11/86 = 13% 1
TOTAL 86 11

Note: Mock data only

Then, do the SRS in every stratum/group in getting the representative hospital of

every place identified in Region XII
Example no. 2.
Region XII Places Number of Hospitals 50 % samples to be
drawn in each place
Saranggani 10 5
General Santos 15 8
Koronadal City 10 5
South Cotabato 12 6
Tacurong City 10 5
Sultan Kudarat 9 5
Cotabato City 9 5
Cotabato Province 11 6
TOTAL 86 45

Note: Mock data only

Then, do the SRS in every stratum/group in getting the representative hospital of

every place identified in Region XII
4. CLUSTER SAMPLING
-selecting respondents in clusters rather than in separate individuals such as
choosing 5 classes of 40 classes each from a whole population of 5, 000 students
-population divided into clusters of homogeneous units, usually based on geographical
contiguity.
Cluster: a group of sampling units close to each other i.e. crowding together in the
same area or neighborhood

5. Multistage Sampling
-divides large populations into stages to make the sampling process more practical.
-A combination of stratified sampling or cluster sampling and simple random sampling
is usually used.

Example:
Let’s say you wanted to find out which subjects Philippine school children
preferred. A population list — a list of all Philippine schoolchildren– would be near-
impossible to come by, so you cannot take a sample of the population.
Instead, you divide the population into regions and take a simple random
sample of regions. For the next stage, you might take a simple random sample of
schools from within those regions. Finally, you could perform simple random sampling
on the students within the schools to get your sample.

Note: In order to classify multistage sampling as probability sampling, each stage must
involve a probability sampling method.
