Abstract : This study examined the influence of organizational commitment on the job satisfaction among Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, calendar year 2022-2023. A total of 140 BHWs were selected through a simple random sampling. A survey questionnaire from Allen and Meyer (1990), and Taylor and Bowers (1972) were adapted and pilot-tested obtaining a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.838. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and simple linear regression were used to treat the data. Based from the data gathered, the demographic profile of the respondents revealed that majority of BHWs are aged between 31 to 35 years, females, high school graduates, and with a length of service between 11 to 15 years. The findings further showed that BHWs exhibit a remarkably very high level of attachment and commitment to their roles and responsibilities, attributed to their strong motivation, dedication, and passion to serve the community's health needs and very high job satisfaction. In addition, the test of correlation revealed that organizational commitment of BHWs had significant positive relationship with job satisfaction, thus the first null hypothesis was rejected. Meanwhile, the study’s regression analysis exhibited that continuance had a significant impact toward job satisfaction. This implied that they are committed that is why they are satisfied, apart from the norm that employees are satisfied that is why they are committed. This fact highlighted that BHWs feel that they will lose more when they leave their job than they will gain despite their meager honorarium. Hence, this research underscores the importance of fostering and sustaining organizational commitment among BHWs, as it directly influenced their job satisfaction and, ultimately, the quality of healthcare services provided to the community. It is worthy to note that policymakers and healthcare administrators may recognize the significance of these factors in supporting and retaining a dedicated and effective healthcare workforce at the grassroots level.
