ABSTRACT
This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of reinforcements
towards employee productivity. Seven departments from Misamis Oriental
Institute of Science and Technology (MOIST) in the college's department
teaching personnel were selected using the cluster sampling technique. This
study employed a correlational research design. Frequency distribution, average
mean and standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to
assess the effectiveness levels of reinforcements towards employee
productivity. The study revealed that the teaching personnel of the college
department at Misamis Oriental Institute of Science and Technology (MOIST),
Balingasag Misamis Oriental, are more productive in terms of the effectiveness
of positive reinforcement. In addition, positive reinforcement has a significant
relationship with employee productivity, which implies that reward approaches
help improve efficiency, work quality, and the systematized work of employees.
Furthermore, the study also revealed that there is no significant relationship
between negative reinforcement and employee productivity, which implies that
solely relying on negative approaches is not effective. Thus, the study
recommended that positive reinforcement, which involves giving rewards, is
effective and should be continued as a motivational approach. Also, negative
approaches should not only be the basis for increasing employee productivity
but also develop other motivational factors that can foster high levels of
productivity.
