Abstract

 This descriptive-correlational study assessed the work commitment and job satisfaction among nurses under the Nurses Deployment Program in Sulu during the Fiscal Year 2023 with 100 samples taken through non-probability sampling method via purposive sampling, and with the use of weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r, this study reveals the following findings: 1) Of the 100 nurse-respondents, mostly are female, within the range of 31-40 years old, and mostly with 3 years & below of length of service; 2) On the average, nurses under the Nurses Deployment Program in Sulu are committed to their work; 3) On the average, nurses under the Nurses Deployment Program in Sulu are satisfied with nursing job; 4) Generally, except for length of service, variables gender and age do not significantly mediate on how nurses assess the extent of work commitment; 5) Generally, variables gender, age, and length of service do not significantly mediate on how nurses assess the extent of job satisfaction; 6) Group of nurses who perceived the extent of work commitment as Agree in terms of affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative are most probably the same group of nurses who perceived the extent of job satisfaction as Satisfied in terms of family and work-life balance, co-workers, and praise and recognition, respectively; and 7) This study seems to support the theory of Geary, et al, 2023 based on the work of Mayer and Allen on Work Commitment Model. This model espouses that organizational commitment can be analyzed from three types of commitment types, which include affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment.
