Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of policy management on the employee satisfaction from selected sectarian institutions in the Philippines. The study used a descriptive-correlational research design. Validated survey questionnaires were distributed to 268 employees of selected sectarian institutions. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and regression. The results showed that the selected sectarian institutions have a very good policy management, and their employees have high levels of job satisfaction. Moreover, the study also found that policy management is a significant predictor of employee satisfaction, with an effect size of 0.432.
