Abstract
Public healthcare institutions depend on a motivated workforce to ensure effective service delivery, yet systemic job insecurity and resource constraints often compromise personnel morale. This study evaluated the work values, work attitudes, and job satisfaction among employees at Potia District Hospital to establish an empirical baseline for strategic human resource development. A descriptive-survey design was conducted utilizing a complete census () of administrative, nursing, and medical/ancillary personnel. Data were gathered via validated Likert-scale questionnaires, informal interviews, and performance audits, and analyzed using weighted means and Chi-square () tests of independence at . Results revealed that employees highly prioritize ethical work values (, Very Important), particularly spirituality and honesty, and demonstrate fully subscribed work attitudes (). Overall job satisfaction remained high across internal () and external () dimensions. However, structural compensation and security of tenure ranked lowest (), with () employed under non-permanent Job Order status. Perceived workplace problems were non-significant across gender () and civil status (), but differed significantly by educational attainment (). Institutionalizing permanent staffing, merit-based career progression, and targeted competency development are critical to sustaining public health service efficacy.
