Job Satisfaction of Filipino Workers in UAE: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

Abstract

Filipinos are still choosing to work overseas regardless of the Covid19 pandemic crisis. This study will be focusing on the factors affecting the job satisfaction of Filipino working in the UAE relative to the working industry. Specifically, the study intends to identify the significant difference in the level of satisfaction based on the industry. The researchers have gathered 109 respondents from the different industry sectors. Structural Equation Modelling using PASW Statistics and SPSS Amos software were utilized to analyze the correlation between the factors on Job Satisfaction. It is unexpected that based on the result, the health and safety during the covid19 pandemic do not significantly affect job satisfaction. While fair treatment and equality, Superior and management, Benefits and Recognition, and Colleagues and Teammates show a significant correlation to Job Satisfaction. Based on the result of this study, the satisfaction level in all industries is satisfied.
