3. INTRODUCTION
The core of organizational success lies in the invaluable contribution of
human resources. Positive attitudes, skills, and competencies of
employees are identified as key factors linked to outcomes such as
work engagement and organizational commitment. A global
perspective is introduced to illuminate the profound impact of the
work environment on job satisfaction, stressing the intricate
connections among physical settings, job profiles, culture, and market
conditions. Delving into the ramifications of a poor work environment,
the narrative explores counter-productive behaviors like burnout and
aggression. The global perspective on this issue accentuates the role of
fairness, procedural justice, and workplace policies in cultivating a
positive work environment. Job satisfaction is defined as an emotional
response to the prevailing work situation, with a keen focus on its
various components and the transformative influence of a supportive
work environment on employee contentment. Transitioning to the
study's focus, the introduction presents it as an exploration of the work
environment's impact on job satisfaction for administrative personnel
at Mindanao State University – General Santos City. Emphasis is placed
on the profound significance of a well-designed workplace, serving as a
medium to express organizational ideals and identity. The
interconnectedness of a positive work environment with employee
morale and productivity is underscored, setting the stage for the
subsequent investigation.

This study employs a descriptive-
correlational method in determining
the level of work management and its
impact to the level of job satisfaction of
administrative personnel in Mindanao
State University, General Santos City.

relative to the physical, social, and
financial aspects while job satisfaction
will be rated by the employees in
terms of Job itself, interpersonal
relationship, pay and allowances,
working condition, management
policies, and professional growth and
development.
The researcher will conduct the study
in Mindanao State University General
Santos City, General Santos City.
Mindanao State University – General
Santos City campus is home of
hundreds of employees/workers with
diverse background and ethnicity. This
school is one of the schools in Region
XII that models a socially cohesive
community of the Muslims, Lumads
and the settlers in the Southern part of
Mindanao (msugensan.edu.ph, 2020).

satisfaction among employees based
on parameters such as the job itself,
