CHAPTER l
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the study

SMAW is one of the oldest welding techniques. It has been around for

nearly a century and is still one of the most common industrial fabrication

methods even until today. Technological advancements have made it even better

for more forms of production and fabrication over the years (STI 2016). The

Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) stated that, Shielded

Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a popular welding technology in the Philippines

and around the world because compared to other skilled workers, Filipino

welders are more in-demand here in the Philippines and abroad. Additionally on

the report of The Philippines Welding Fabrication Industry (TPWFI)(2016)

Welding in the Philippines is a vital enabling technique for a variety of metal-

dominated industries.

Metal joining is becoming more sophisticated, with a greater emphasis

on adding value to welded products required by most industries. Welding has

recently gained prominence in the metalworking industry due to the more

sophisticated procedures involved in welding activities as compared to other

industries with larger machine operations.

Furthermore, Universal Technical Institute (UTI 2019) aside from being

one of the highest paid workers, SMAW also provides simplicity and cost-
 2

effectiveness in terms of equipment. It is excellent for outdoor applications due to

its portability and self-generated shielding gas.

Shielded Metal Arc Welders are among the most in-demand and well-paid

jobs in the Philippines. According to PayScale Data, the annual average

compensation for professional welders ranges from $54,000 to $71,000, with the

value increasing dramatically with years of expertise. Thus, a certified welding

technician with expertise can easily earn $100,000 per year on average.

Moreover, The Philippines' construction industry presents significant

employment prospects for skilled welders, with construction companies,

contractors, and infrastructure development projects requiring their skills. Global

demand for welders also opens up opportunities for non-NCII welders to work

abroad, as many countries have a shortage of skilled welders. Further education

and training can enhance their skills and career prospects.

The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) stated

that, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a popular welding technology in the

Philippines and around the world because compared to other skilled workers,

Filipino welders are more in-demand here in the Philippines and abroad.

Additionally on the report of The Philippines Welding Fabrication Industry

(TPWFI)(2016) Welding in the Philippines is a vital enabling technique for a

variety of metal-dominated industries.

Non-NCII shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) professionals have

numerous career paths and employment opportunities in various industries,

including construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive, and shipbuilding.

 3

So in order to explore the possible career routes and employment

opportunities available to NON-NCll shielded metal arc welders, the researchers

conducted this study with the goal of improving understanding of non-NCII

shielded metal arc welding as an appealing career choice and filling a knowledge

gap, providing support for career decision-making, enhancing industry

understanding, informing policy and training programs, and promoting inclusivity

within the welding profession.

 4

Review of Related Literature

A review of related literature is an important basis for any scholarly

investigation, offering a detailed overview of previous research, hypotheses, and

scholarly discussion related to the topic at hand.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). A stick welding commonly referred

to as a Shielded Metal Arc Welding. The Shielded Metal Arc Welding Technical

Diploma program provides a solid foundation in process-specific production

welding technology. The program is intended to prepare students for entry-level

position in the production welding and metal fabrication industries, and It employs

a manual arc welding process that is still widely used today. It can be used for

both repair and production welding in all welding positions on all ferrous metals.

By gaining a comprehensive understanding of SMAW and its applications,

graduates of this program are well-prepared to contribute to the welding and

metal fabrication industries, meeting the demands of entry-level positions and

establishing a solid foundation for their welding careers.

Job Experiences of Non-NCII Shielded Metal Arc Welders emphasizes

the importance of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Technical Diploma

program in preparing students for welding jobs, the high demand and pay for

SMAW workers, and the factors contributing to job satisfaction, motivational and

performance. It also discusses the potential health hazards associated with

welding and highlights the role of education and job satisfaction in job

performance, safety, and functionality of a variety of projects and products.

Skilled welders are frequently in high demand and can fetch competitive rates.
 5

To gain precise information on the majority of people specializing in welding in

your country and the exact pay of SMAW workers in the Philippines, it is needed

to refer to specific labor market reports, industry surveys, or government data.

The importance of motivation and job satisfaction in affecting employee

performance, implying that firms should focus on creating a happy work

environment and meeting employee needs in order to improve both motivation

and performance.

According to Jauhari and Ripki (2019), as well as Gunawan and Sondakh

(2019) claimed that there is a positive working relationship in motivation and

performance. This means that the higher the level of employee job satisfaction,

their job performance will improve.

Furthermore, Welding fume exposure poses significant health risks to

welders, as highlighted by a study conducted by (PJBS)(2019)Welding fume

exposure has led to the respiratory problems among welders including cough,

phlegm, chest illnesses, nausea and fatigue. Inadequate ventilation during

welding works causes the situation to worsen. Welding fumes can cause a

decrease in lung function among welders. The study emphasizes the importance

of proper safety measures for welders who are exposed to welding fumes, such

as adequate ventilation and the use of personal protective equipment. It also

emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and monitoring of the health

effects of welding fumes in order to protect the health and safety of welders and

other industry workers.

 6

Welders are frequently placed in difficult positions for extended periods of

time, which can lead to musculoskeletal difficulties and back injuries. This

problem was highlighted in the report written by Feier&Baciu (2021) welding

frequently necessitates awkward body positions that must be maintained for

extended periods of time, which can lead to musculoskeletal issues such as back

injuries. This study looked at the physical and psychological stress as a result of

factors such as poor posture, fume and gas exposure, and job demands,

according to the findings.

These has also been investigation. Hidyat and Budiatama (2018) made

the discovery that education has influenced employment performance. Similar

results were obtained. According to Ishola and Abdulrahamon (2018) and who

Bharamagoudar and Angadi (2019) stated that education is advantageous and

significantly associated with the job performance of workers. This implies that a

higher education will lead to more job opportunities. Employees at higher levels

education broadens one’s option. Obtain and store more data. As a result they

perform better at work. Job satisfaction is another important aspect of the job.

According to the studies, education and job satisfaction are both important

factors in job performances. Employees who have higher level of education and

are more satisfied with their jobs are more likely to perform well.

In the end, the review of related literature emphasizes the importance of

motivation and job satisfaction in employee performance, the need for proper

safety measures in welding to mitigate health risks, and the impact of education

on job opportunities and performance.

research design for this study was phenomenological.

Which involved investigating people's subjective experiences and

perspectives. This method was deemed appropriate as it allowed for a thorough

examination of the participants' experiences and their interpretations.

Locale

The study was conducted in Toledo City, Cebu. This location was chosen

because there are many Welders here that do not have NCll, which is particularly

important to the study. The participants were interviewed in their homes near the

old Basketball Court in Sangi, Purok Mangga, in their living rooms, which are

clean and smell exquisite. This study revealed the job experiences of Non-NCII

Chapter lll
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter summarizes the study's findings, which will serve as the

foundation for drawing conclusions and making recommendations.

Summary of Findings

The findings are formulated based on the outcome of the obtained data

that is thematically processed by the researchers through the numerous

processes integrated in the study. The outcomes are as follows:

Ensure the correctness of welding techniques requires a number of

critical factors. Addressing blowholes and performing responsibilities are critical

for maintaining weld quality and integrity. Practice, training, and comprehension

of instructions are critical in developing the skills and knowledge required for

successful welding. Welding issues, especially overhead welding challenges,

include overcoming hurdles and training shortages while questioning

perceptions.

Furthermore, it is critical to safeguard welding power sources for safe

and effective operations. It is critical to overcome insults and demonstrate

welding abilities while under pressure. Welders are motivated by balancing job,

family, and future goals, with family providing as a vital source of knowledge and

inspiration. Welders are motivated by the need to provide for their families and to

use education as a source of inspiration.

More over, High-quality results are ensured by emphasizing correct

welding technique, precision, and cleanliness. A solid working environment is

essential for achieving consistent welding results. Planning and consideration aid
 26

in overcoming the fear of making mistakes and ensuring welding quality. To

obtain the desired outcomes, weld precision, clarity, and cleanliness are critical.

Conclusion

The Researcher concluded that, this study investigated the job

experiences of Non-NCll Shielded Metal Arc Welders in Toledo City, Cebu. They

found that they face physical demands, workplace hazards, inadequate safety

measures, and limited access to training and resources. Despite these

challenges, they draw inspiration from various sources, such as accomplishment,

the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure development, and camaraderie.

Recommendations

Many welders are specialists in their fields but lack formal training; they just

learn welding on the job and are not certified. The researcher’s recommendations

for the specific Welders on this page are as follows:

1. The researchers recommend that, Welders should follow correct welding

procedures, provide training and support to manage interpersonal

connections, emphasize personal responsibility and motivation, inspect

work areas before and after welding, seek guidance and mentorship,

strive for excellence, and ensure workplace safety.

2. Improve working circumstances: Efforts should be made to improve

welders' working conditions, including concerns such as correct alignment

of large gaps, eliminating impurities in materials, and providing a stable

 27

working environment. This can help to reduce the challenges encountered

during welding processes.

3. Implement comprehensive safety measures: To reduce workplace

hazards, implement comprehensive safety measures. This includes

comprehensive safety protocol training, the use of protective equipment,

and regular inspections to guarantee compliance with safety requirements.

4. Increase access to training and resources: Recognize the value of training

and make it available to welders. This will help them overcome obstacles

such as welding difficulties. Furthermore, ensure the availability of

necessary resources, such as welding power source protection, to

facilitate efficient and high-quality operations.

5. Personal and family needs are met: Recognize the importance of welders'

personal lives and family responsibilities. Provide support systems to help

people balance work and family responsibilities. Flexible work hours,

financial support programs, and access to educational opportunities for

personal growth and inspiration can all help.

6. Encourage precision and quality: Stress the necessity of good welding

technique, precision, and cleanliness. Encourage welders to focus on

precision, clarity, and cleanliness when welding. This can be

accomplished by ongoing training and the use of quality control

mechanisms.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)(2017) stated that,

prolonged exposure to welding fumes may cause lung damage and various type

of cancer, including lung, larynx and urinary tract cancer of the welder and the

environment. https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OSHA_FS-

(Feier&Baciu, 2021) welding frequently necessitates awkward body positions

that must be maintained for extended periods of time, which can lead to

musculoskeletal issues such as back injuries. This study looked at the physical

and psychological stress as a result of factors such as poor posture, fume and

gas exposure, and job demands, according to the

findings.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347431183_Occupational_Haz

Hidyat and Budiatama (2018) made the discovery that education has influenced

employment performance. Similar results were obtained. According to Ishola and

Abdulrahamon (2018) and who (Bharamagoudar and Angadi 2019) stated that

education is advantageous and significantly associated with the job performance

of workers. This implies that a higher education will lead to more job

opportunities(Page 6) file:///C:/Users/admin/Downloads/admin,+7.+NIMATUL%20(4).pdf
 31

Jauhari and Ripki (2019), as well as Gunawan and Sondakh (2019) claimed that

there is a positive working relationship in motivation and performance. This

means that the higher the level of employee job satisfaction, their job

performance will improve. This Study emphasizes the significance of

comprehending the factors that contribute to job satisfaction and how they relate

to employee motivation and performance. Organizations can help to create a

more engaged, motivated and productive workforce by prioritizing job

satisfaction. (Page 8) file:///C:/Users/admin/Downloads/admin,+7.+NIMATUL.pdf

Pakistan Journal Biological Sciences(PJBS)(2019)Welding fume exposure has

led to the respiratory problems among welders including cough, phlegm, chest

illnesses, nausea and fatigue. Inadequate ventilation during welding works

causes the situation to worsen. Welding fumes can cause a decrease in lung

function among welders. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30972984/
