₱10,001 to ₱20,000. The respondents strongly agreed that private banks provided awards
Respondents also generally agreed that private banks provided necessary office

productivity were job stress and workload, while the least common problems were older

statistically significant. These findings suggest that private banks in the municipality of
Narra, Palawan provide various factors that can enhance the productivity of their
employees, but these factors may not necessarily be related to the problems encountered

CHAPTER II
This chapter presents the relevant literature that the researchers considered in
development (Singh and Jyoti, 2020). The banking sector has a significant contribution to
providing loans to common people, industries, start-ups, and farmers (Ranajee, 2018;
Jyoti and Singh, 2020; Alam et al., 2021). Therefore, it is necessary to measure the
performance of employees in the banking sector in order to make our banking industry
globally competitive and increase its contribution to the Philippine economy. However,
organizations may overlook some of the factors already present in the workplace that
may demotivate employees. According to Xaynhaphoum (2017), one of the key internal
factors that helps a company succeed is having motivated staff. In this argument, the
provided by the banks and problems encountered by the employees of private banks in
2018), served as the theoretical basis for this study. It described two factors: hygiene
16
factors and motivation factors. According to Herzberg, hygiene factors were necessary
for the existence of motivation in the workplace, but they were not motivators in and of
themselves. Dissatisfaction might result from the absence of hygienic elements, as well as
pay, and other hygiene aspects were examples of hygiene factors. He talked about things
that produced good satisfaction and drove employees to achieve their best. Recognition, a
decision-making, the importance of the task, and others were all aspects that could
motivate people.

Age
The results showed that most of the respondents belonged to the age bracket of
26-30, with 48.48% of the respondents, while 18.18% belonged to the age bracket of 31-
35, 15.15% belonged to 21-25, 12.12% belonged to 36-40, and 6.06% belonged to 41-45.
Based on the results, it appeared that the age range of 26 to 30 was the most heavily
represented among the respondents, with the largest concentration of respondents falling
within this range. This implies that the age range of 26 to 30 is particularly well-
The study by Iqbal et al. (2019), found that the private banks have a higher
representation of employees in the age group of 26 to 30. This group is known for their
dynamic and energetic years, and the study's results support the idea that banks should

prosperity, as it brings women into the development process and allows them to

private banks were single. While the rest of the respondents (39.39%) were married.

that the number of single employees at private banks is greater than the number of
married employees. Moreover, According to Kumari et al., (2020), When workers are
single and independent, they have no obligations in their personal lives. As a result, they
