THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Customer satisfaction has been a subject of great interest to
organizations and researchers alike. The importance of customer
satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased bargaining power. In
researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their
product or service has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations
are a key factor behind satisfaction. When customers have high
expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will
likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a
luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than
a budget motel even though its facilities and service would be deemed
superior in 'absolute' terms. Within organizations, customer satisfaction
ratings can have powerful effects. They focus employees on the
importance of fulfilling customers’ expectations.
According to Nick (2009), the word “service” is widely used to
“indicate an industrial sector that “do things for you”. The use of a
service can be characterized as a consumption process as opposed to
outcome consumption, Furthermore, based on the study of Grönroos
Christian (2008), the process nature of services, the fulfilment of
promises given through external marketing is dependent on the attitudes
and behaviour of a large number of part-time marketers
2
Furthermore, will introduce our empirical context by highlighting
why it is of particular interest to study service quality and customer
satisfaction in various restaurants in Iligan City, and why we choose to
use the SERVQUAL model and MOTIVATOR-HYGIENE THEORY for our
research. These will then lead us to clearly stating our research
questions and research purpose in order to have a road map for our
study. This will allow new actionable strategies resulting in more diverse
practical implications for practice. Unfortunately, these early
perspectives have not significantly advanced the progress of satisfaction
work for some time and it was not until many and diverse perspectives
were integrated, elaborated, and extended that others began the study of
conceptual satisfaction in earnest. Moreover the main objective of this
research is to know the needs and wants of customers and best staff
services in various restaurants particularly in Iligan City.
The principal objective of organizations is to maximize profits and
to minimize cost. Profit maximization can be achieved through increase
in sales with lesser costs. One of the factors that can help to increase
sales is customer satisfaction, because satisfaction leads to customer
loyalty, recommendation and repeat purchase. The quality of service has
become an aspect of customer satisfaction.
Indeed, the researchers aim to determine the staff service among
the staff in various restaurant especially in the strategies they offer to the
3
customer as well as to develop better understanding on staff service and
customer satisfaction.
Theoretical Framework
The theories used in this study serve as a framework for the
researchers to organize the schema of the study. This study is anchored
on the theory of customer satisfaction and theory of service quality. In
this chapter, we present all the concepts that are important to our study.
Concepts such are service, quality, service quality, customer satisfaction,
customer’s expectations and perceptions are discussed. Also, a proper
explanation of the SERVQUAL model is outlined in this chapter. The
various dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance,
empathy) of the SERVQUAL model are discussed. Models measuring
service quality and customer satisfaction are discussed as well. We, the
researchers try to bring out the relationship between service quality and
customer satisfaction. The main reason for covering this chapter is to
enhance our understanding of the main theories involved in our study
and to answer our research questions. The SERVQUAL instrument has
been widely applied in a variety of service industries, including tourism
and hospitality. The instrument was used to measure employee quality
as well (Parasuraman et. Al., 1991).
The Motivator – Hygiene Theory (MHT), also known as the Two-
Factor or the Satisfier-Dissatisfier theory, proposes two sets of needs -
4
motivator and hygiene. The former refers to the nature of the work and
the level of achievement and responsibility, while the latter refers to
aspects of the work environment such as pay and supervision. Motivator
needs produce job satisfaction and hygiene needs can create job
dissatisfaction if the working conditions are inadequate. However, even if
the working conditions are outstanding, hygiene needs cannot produce
job satisfaction (De Leon, 1993).
Motivating’ factors like recognition, achievement, work itself,
growth need to be met in order for an employee to be satisfied with work.
On the other hand, at the absence of ‘hygiene’ factors such as, working
conditions, relationship peers, love of money, job satisfaction, work
security, and pay satisfaction (Herzberg, 1987).

Conceptual Framework
The study is anchored on the concept of identifying the level of
employees’ job satisfaction and its effect on customers’ satisfaction
among selected restaurants in Iligan City.
This study definitely treats both independent and dependent
variables. The independent variables pertain to the age, civil status,
gender, and estimated monthly income while the dependent variable
includes the staff service. Also their services rendered based on the staff
service, and job satisfaction is included.
The profile of the respondents considered was believed to have
significance in the identification of the customer’s satisfaction on the
service rendered by the said restaurant staff. The respondent’s age,
gender, civil status and estimated monthly income would somehow
provide information on their preferred service rendered considering the
profile of the respondents. Respondents’ assessment on the level of
customer satisfaction of the service rendered in terms of service, proper
hygiene and attitude and job satisfaction is to be investigated to
determine the significant data on this aspect which will lead to the
generalization for the level of customer satisfaction. correlations on the
identified variables will be obtained to investigate on the significant
differences of respondent’s level of satisfaction when their profile as of
age, gender, civil status and estimated monthly income are to be
considered.

11
Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The researchers need to define the scope of research in order to
make things clear. They focused on the various restaurants in Iligan city.
Restaurants will include those of all sizes be it small or big. The
researchers are interested in evaluating how costumers perceive service
quality in this restaurant in general. They assume that most of these
restaurant offer similar services and assistance to their customers. This
study is limited to restaurants in Iligan City because our sample is
drawn from those living in Iligan City and do have experiences with the
restaurant in the town. In this study, the word “customers” will refer to
students in St. Michael’s College who can be considered customers as
well. Factors considered for level of the customers satisfaction which
include of performance Services and job satisfaction.
Definition of Terms
To give the readers a better understanding of this study, the
following terms are defined conceptually and operationally.
Customer Satisfaction. It refers to a customer’s experience that
exposes a supplier’s behavior on customer’s expectation. It also depends
on how efficiently it is managed and how promptly services are provided
(Ingerose, 2005). As used in this study, it refers to the good impression of
customers to various business aspects of marketing, product
manufacturing, quality of products and services.
12
Job Satisfaction. It is a pleasurable emotional state resulting from
the appraisal of one's job (Magloff, 2019). As used in this study, it refers
to the attitudes of employees taking into account their feelings, beliefs
and behaviors.
Restaurant. The term refers to a public place that provides foods
and beverages on a commercial basis (fandbfood.com, 2017). As used in
this study, the term refers to a public place which opens to all for selling
food and beverages to any person aimed to fulfill a need and to maximize
satisfaction.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY
This section consists of related literature and studies obtained
from several sources which have direct bearing on the study being
conduct. These ideas then had become indispensable factors as they
integrated ideas, concepts and principles in substantiating the various
results. These topics also situated the importance of the research topic.
Related Study
Those who buy the goods or services provided by companies are
customers. In other words, a customer is a stakeholder of an
organization who provides payment in exchange for the offer provided by
the organization with the aim of fulfilling a need and to maximize
satisfaction. Sometimes the term customer and consumer are confusing.
A customer can be a consumer, but a consumer may not necessarily be a
customer.
When a consumer/customer is contented with either the product
or services it is termed satisfaction. Satisfaction can also be a person’s
feelings of pleasure or disappointment that results from comparing a
product’s perceived performance or outcome with their expectations. As a
matter of fact, satisfaction could be the pleasure derived by someone
from the consumption of goods or services offered by another person or
14
group of people; or it can be the state of being happy with a situation.
Satisfaction varies from one person to another because it is utility.
On the other hand, client happiness, which is a sign of customer
satisfaction, is and has always been the most essential thing for any
organization. Customer satisfaction is defined by one author as the
consumer’s response to the evaluation of the perceived discrepancy
between prior expectations and the actual performance of the product or
service as perceived after its consumption hence considering satisfaction
as an overall post-purchase evaluation by the consumer.
According to Levy (2009) measuring customer satisfaction could be
very difficult at times because it is an attempt to measure human
feelings. Likewise it is the simplest way to know how customers feel, and
what they want. It further conceptualized into transaction-specific and
cumulative. Following the transaction specific, customer satisfaction is
viewed as a post-choice evaluation judgment of a specific purchase
occasion until present date; researchers have developed a rich body of
literature focusing on this antecedents and consequences of this type of
customer satisfaction at the individual level. Cumulative customer
satisfaction is an overall evaluation based on the total purchase and
consumption experiences with a product or service over time. This is
more fundamental and useful than transaction specificity customer
satisfaction in predicting customer subsequent behavior and firm’s past,
15
present and future performances. It is the cumulative customer
satisfaction that motivates a firm’s investment in customer satisfaction.
In order for a restaurant’s offer to reach the customers there is a
need for services. These services depend on the type of product and it
differs in the various organizations. Service can be defined in many ways
depending on which area the term is being used. An author defines
service as “any intangible act or performance that one party offers to
another that does not result in the ownership of anything” In all, service
can also be defined as an intangible offer by one party to another in
exchange of money for pleasure. Quality is one of the things that
consumers look for in an offer, which service happens to be one. Quality
can also be defined as the totality of features and characteristics of a
product or services that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied
needs. It is evident that quality is also related to the value of an offer,
which could evoke satisfaction or dissatisfaction on the part of the user.
Motivating’ factors like recognition, achievement, work itself, growth need
to be met in order for an employee to be satisfied with work. On the other
hand, at the absence of ‘hygiene’ factors such as, working conditions,
relationship peers, love of money, job satisfaction, work security, and pay
satisfaction (Herzberg, 1987).
Furthermore, service quality in the management and marketing
literature is the extent to which customers' perceptions of service meet
and/or exceed their expectations for example as defined by (Zeithaml,
16
2005). Thus service quality can intend to be the way in which customers
are served in an organization which could be good or poor. According to
Parasuraman (2009), service quality is “the differences between customer
expectations and perceptions of service”. They argued that measuring
service quality as the difference between perceived and expected service
was a valid way and could make management to identify gaps to what
they offer as services.
In the study of customer expectation factors, (Soriano 2002) found
that after quality of food, quality of service was ranked the second most
important factor in determining the customer’s decision to return to the
restaurant. Then, the study of the measurement of tourist satisfaction
with restaurant service, a segment-based approach indicated that there
were different segments seeking different benefits Yuksel &Yuksel,
(2002). Yuksel & Yuksel (2002) mentioned these differences and proved
that service quality had the most significant effect on dining satisfaction
at the aggregate market level. Based on the previous literature, the
researcher believes it is important to include service quality in this study.
In Soriano’s (2002) study about customer expectation factors in
restaurants, he stated that the price to be paid for a service determines
the level of quality to be demanded. Customers have raised their
expectations with regard to quality and good service, while seeking a
better value for their money. In this study, (Soriano 2002) found that
17
service and value of meal are equally important when compared with all
the other factors.

This chapter involves presenting and motivating the choice of
method of collecting and analyzing data, from both a theoretical and
practical point of view, compared to the relative advantages and
disadvantages of other alternative methods that may be more or less
appropriate to the context of the study. It presents the adequate facts
which will be used to treat the data which will be collected. Thus, this
chapter contains primarily the locale of the study, respondents of the
study, sampling method used, research instruments, data gathering
procedure and the statistical treatment of data.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSES, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the analyses and interpretation of the gathered
data. This section contains five (5) parts; part I is about the profile of the
respondents in terms of age, civil status, sex, and average monthly
income. Part II is on employees’ level of job satisfaction. Part III is
regarding customers’ level of satisfaction. Part IV is on significant
difference in customers’ level of satisfaction when grouped according to
profile. Part V is about significant relationship between the level of job
satisfaction and the level of customer satisfaction.

40 - 49 years old 20 20.00
50 - 59 years old 7 7.00
Total 100 100.00
Table 1.1 reveals that forty one or 41 percent of the respondents
belonged to an age ranges from 20 – 29 years old and thirty two or 32
percent are 30 – 39 years old while seven or 7 percent are within the age
range of 50 – 59 years old. This implies that the common customers who
dine in restaurant in Iligan City were young adults. Young adult
customers are the true digital natives. The internet is their means of
22
expression and consumption. They are used to having brands become
part of their lifestyle and day-to-day life. It is natural for them to look up
opinions online and read their friends’ posts as a form of assurance
before making a purchase. They are aspirational and entrepreneurial,
which is why they have a greater appreciation for companies, businesses
and brands that use positive and altruistic messages and that seek to
continuously improve Lane (2019). This is supported by the data of the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that as of July 2018, majority of the
labor force (66.7 percent) and guest population in any business
establishments are young adults.

Table 1.2 shows that sixty one or 61.00 percent of the respondents
were married and thirty two or 32.00 percent single while three or 3 .00
that were separated and the other 4 percent are widowed. Data depicts
that majority of the respondents were married. It implies that the
respondents are young married people who prefer the wholesome meals
which are light on the pocket (Salman, 2015). In the latest release of the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the median age of brides and
grooms in the Philippines were at 27 and 29, respectively which
23
comprises about one-third of the brides and the grooms married between
ages 25-29 years old, where grooms with 157,407 or 36.2% of the total
marriages and brides with 148,618 or 34.2%.
Table 1.3 Sex of the Respondents
Sex of the Respondents Frequency Percent
Male 51 51.00
Female 49 49.00
Total 100 100.00
Table 1.3 illustrates that fifty one or 51.00 percent are males and
forty nine or 49.00 percent are females. It indicates that majority of the
respondents are male. Consequently, males prefer carryout service more
often than females. They practice and prefer mainly by quick service
restaurant and spend much per month going out to eat (Bojanic, 2015).

Total 100 100.00
Table 1.4 demonstrates the average monthly income of the
respondents. There were sixty six or 66.00 percent who earns an income
of P10,000 and below. Meanwhile there were two or 2.00 percent that
have an income of P30,001 – P50,000. Data depicts that majority of the
24
respondents are low income earners. This implies that they belong to the
lower class of the society. The members of the lower or poor class
comprise about 70 percent of the population but they only earn or share
10 percent of the wealth. They often cannot earn enough to be able to
buy necessities in life, save for emergencies or for future needs (Mhlanga,
2015).

Table 2.1 shows the level of satisfaction of the respondents as to
achievement. The highest mean score of 3.92 with very satisfied
description on item the staffs are satisfied to work to their restaurants
because it recognizes their achievements indicating that recognition
through appreciation of capability can motivate employees to be able to
maximize their talents which become the most important dimension in
job security. It allows workers not only stretch their skills and learn a
few new ones but also imagine future potential with the company.
People who are motivated by their work rather than by their
compensation no matter what that salary amount is are three times as
likely to be engaged at work and report greater job satisfaction than
people who approach their work as another day (Trimarchi, 2019) .
Moreover, data depicts the respondents were “Very Satisfied” in the
area of achievement with an overall mean score of 3.74. It implies that
employees are glad that their accomplishments are being acknowledged
by their managers. It can also be noted that appreciation is a
fundamental human need. Employees respond to appreciation expressed
through recognition of their good work because it confirms their work is
valued by others. When employees and their work are valued, their
satisfaction and productivity rises, and they are motivated to maintain or
improve their good work (Harrison, 2018).

Table 2.2 portrays the level of satisfaction in the work itself. This
facet was rated as “Very satisfied” with a mean score of 3.72. The part on
“Staffs receive appropriate training to enhance their effectiveness” has a
mean score of 3.86, implying they were very satisfied. Meanwhile in the
aspect “The supervisor encourages the staff to take initiative to their job”
was assessed as “very satisfied” (3.60 mean).
The inquiry reveals the respondents were very satisfied in their
work itself. This infers that the respondents were contented with their
work. According to Villanova University (2015), employees want to feel
respect and trust, while working in a safe environment, with good pay
and opportunities to advance. When the company develops ways to
deliver on these important factors, it can satisfy employees and help
build a stronger, more stable and profitable future.
Furthermore, the data implies that appropriable work itself has
positive impact an employee’s performance. According to Brabete (2010)
27
high-level of appropriable work itself will result in high level of
employees’ work performance.

Table 2.3 displays the respondents’ level of satisfaction as to
recognition. The highest mean score 3.75 rated as very satisfied on item
“The staff is satisfied when he/she achieve or complete a task”. This
means that the respondents achieved job satisfaction when self
-recognition of employees is identified and their effort they put in their
job and the work results they achieved are valued and appreciated
(Zojceska, 2019).
Moreover, in the trait of “The staff receives recognition when they
perform above expectations” was evaluated as “Moderately Satisfied” with
a lowest mean score of 3.32 implying that the respondents were
moderately satisfied when it comes to recognition. It implies employees
feel good that their efforts were admired. However, the employees were
28
not so admired by the restaurant managers in Iligan City. There is a
moderate appreciation shown to their efforts. The managers/owners of
restaurants take not so much time to demonstrate how much of a
measurable impact of employees efforts on the business. According to
Zojceska (2019) employee recognition is the key to employee satisfaction.
Employee recognition is a very effective and easily implemented, yet often
overlooked strategy for improving employee’s satisfaction. The main goal
of employee recognition is to let employees know that the effort they put
in their job and the work results they achieved are valued and
appreciated both financial and nonfinancial rewards have a role in
influencing job satisfaction, which ultimately impacts employee
performance. This can be done in many ways such as public recognition
or acknowledgment via an award or a certificate, obtaining a high level of
achievement through evaluations and promotion or increase in the scope
of work or responsibility to show trust.

aspect “The staff are continuously learning and trying to improve one
another” it was evaluated as very satisfied (3.84 mean). However, “Staff
have more responsibilities since when their started” was rated as very
satisfied (3.51 mean).
Study depicts the respondents were very satisfied when it comes to
growth. It implies that they feel that there is development in them
personally and professionally. This would lead employees to be more
engaged at work if they know they can grow rather than feel like they are
stagnant. In a study by Quantum Workplace, Year employees listed

Table 4 portrays the no significant difference in the customers’
level of satisfaction and the respondent’s profile. However, their mean
scores varies according to age group such ages 20 – 29 got a higher
mean score compared to 30 years old and above. The findings is similar
to Melkis, (2017) found that there is a significant difference in how
customers from different age group perceive price of restaurant or at any
fast food. This could be due to consumers in the 21 – 30 years old age
group, mostly singles and working adults know what they want and they
are less sensitive to prices. They are more willing to spend to get what
they want or desire. And customers in the 31 – 50 years old age group
are mainly working and married with children. They are busy with their
career and family, have limited time to cook and prepare meals.
Therefore, they might prefer to eat meal that is easy to consume, fast,
hassle free, convenient, cheap and affordable. Mainly, fast food price are
more affordable and cheap compare to preparing and cooking at home.
Furthermore, the mean score of male is higher (3.76) compared to
female (3.69) indicating that both differ in terms of level of customer’s
satisfaction. Mansoora (2017) support the notion that gender difference
at service encounter may lead to different customer service outcomes. As
the male-to-male interaction and male-to-female interactions differ
because people behave differently when they interact with the same
gender and with the opposite gender, i n a given particular situation.
46
Likewise, female customers had higher expectations regarding staff that
was having knowledge and courtesy, while men had higher expectations
regarding staff that was professional and there was no difference in
trustworthiness and staff being competent.
In addition, the customer’s level of satisfaction with respect to
marital status of respondents reveals that from the descriptive statistics
given in Table 4, it is observed that the mean of married customers with
3.75 is more than that of the unmarried customers (3.70) and that of
widow (3.69) and separated (3.41). Thus, it can be inferred that married
customers are more satisfied with the services of restaurant as compared
to the unmarried ones.
Consequently, by analyzing the mean of different income groups
given in Table 4, it can be concluded that respondents in the income
group of above PhP10,000 and below per month have a higher mean
score of 3.76 and are most very satisfied, while customers in the income
group of up to PhP50,000 per month with lower mean score and are
considered least very satisfied with the services of restaurants in Iligan
City.

Table 5 reveals the significant relationship between the level of job
satisfaction and the level of customer satisfaction on the aspect of
achievement with the p-value of 0.000 implying that employees are the
driving factor behind customer satisfaction. Employee interactions set
the tone for a positive or negative customer experience. When employees
aren’t happy at work, their interactions with customers can, and almost
always will, suffer. Over the course of time, this can have serious
repercussions for a business. Likewise, Jeon (2012) found that
customers who developed a bond with the employees also were likely to
care about employee wellbeing. If customers like the performance of the
employee and express gratitude or satisfaction, in turn, it is also
expected to lead to a higher level of employee satisfaction.
Moreover, data depicts that job satisfaction on work itself has a
significant relationship to customer satisfaction. The p-value of 0.0000
indicates a significant value of work itself to customer service and
satisfaction. This means that any employees who love its work expresses
positive behavior and build healthy relationship to peers and customers.
Generally the mindset of employees to work likes valuable contributors to
a company’s success. Employees understand the important of their role
how their work fits into the bigger picture. They feel like their voices are
being heard and they have respect from their managers. Most
importantly, they were able to come to work and know that the next eight
hours won’t be pure torture but committed service (Prossack, 2019).
49
In addition, the p-value of 0.000 of recognition on the level of job
satisfaction showed a significant relationship to the level of customer
satisfaction. This implies that recognition play a vital role in determining
the significant performance in job and it is positively associated with the
process of motivation. This further means that employees being
recognized by doing things that acknowledge their accomplishments and
given reward and fair chances of promotion according to employee’s
ability and skills make employee more loyal to their work and become a
source of pertinent workability for the employee. Likewise, when
employees experience success in a challenging occupation which allows
them to exercise their skills and abilities, they experience greater levels of
job satisfaction (Danish, 2010).
Consequently, the p-value of 0.006 on growth as one aspect of job
satisfaction found to have a significant relationship to the level of
customer’s satisfaction. This means that career growth as one of the
needs of organization and building competencies of employees. So
organization’s needs cannot be satisfied without satisfying individual
needs of employee. According to Shujaat (2013) career growth of
employees is positively associated with effective commitment, because
effective commitment will only be done when employees will be satisfied
with their job especially when employees are being given chances to
develop their career then their commitment with that organization would
be higher.
50
Furthermore, the p-value of 0.0010 on relationship with peers of
job satisfaction indicates significant relationship to the level of
customer’s satisfaction which means that individuals who do better are
somehow better connected and gained positive work performance. It
further attributed to cooperation which every employee is responsible for
solving part of a problem and stimulates communication and contact
with others at work and encourages mutual trust. It also develop social
support wherein an individual can expect to receive help when necessary
(Buljubasic, 2018). Likewise, when the relationship with peers is
acceptable recognition and achievement can be stimulated. Relationship
with peers is a kind of foundation. A high quality foundation means that
an employee is likely will be satisfied with his job.
Given the above presented result, the p-value of 0.0160 on working
condition of job satisfaction found to have a significant relationship to
the level of customer’s satisfaction. This means that working conditions
influence employees’ performances. It is therefore necessary to take
measures to eliminate uncomfortable working conditions or, if not
possible, to take appropriate safety measures. On the other hand,
working conditions can be influenced external factors that include
climate lighting in the workplace, noise and interference and other
factors as related to the organization of production such as duration of
the work shift, work schedule, working time and work pace.

Safety at work is carried out to ensure working conditions without
danger to life or health, or, to avoid accidents, injuries, occupational
diseases and, or at least mitigate their consequences. In the context of
safety at work it should be talking about equipment that employees use
in their daily work. Equipment (machinery, equipment, plant, tools,
supplies, laboratory equipment, etc.) that employees use in their work
has to be functional and correctly to avoid injuries at work or reduced
performances. It is important that workers are trained how to work with
the equipment because inadequate equipment handling can result in
accidents or deviations in performance no matter how much equipment
was proper. Training of employees should be also oriented to the proper
use of protective equipment and personal protection (Bakotic, 2013).

Achievements 0.14700 Not Significant
Work Itself 0.05000 Significant

Table 6 shows that there is a significant effect of the level of job
satisfaction on the aspect of relationship with peers with p-value of
0.01100 to the level of customer satisfaction. This means that employees
with strong bonds of camaraderie are more likely to remain loyal to their
team, and stay longer as a result. Thus friends at work offer a priceless
support system when things get tough. According to Dickson (2018)
employees with friends at work who regularly celebrate their
contributions and accomplishments are more likely to love their job, and
even more likely to love the company they work for. Further, when
employer provides good relationship then employees are satisfied and
ultimately they provide those to customers and they also feel satisfied.
On the other hand, work security aspect of job satisfaction found
to have significant effect to the level of customer’s satisfaction with p-
value of 0.0050 indicating that job satisfaction levels decrease when an
employee feels threatened by a lack of job security. A worker is filled with
feelings of discontent and uncertainty when his future at the company is
uncertain, which leads to resentment. However, an employee with job
security is able to envision his future at the organization, making him
feel valued and satisfied with his current position. Conversely, a worker
with a solid sense of job security plans to work for the company for the
foreseeable future, so she maintains relationships with colleagues and
completes her work to stay employed (woods, 2013).
53
Moreover, the p-value of 0.0500 on work itself as one aspect of job
satisfaction statistically has a significant effect to customer’s satisfaction.
This means that satisfied employees are more productive, innovative,
committed and loyal to work itself, which in turn leads to customer
satisfaction, which means that employees who likes the job plays a
“strong, central role” in predicting profitability and organizational
effectiveness. Employee satisfaction is significantly related to service
quality and to customer satisfaction. Employee work satisfaction reflect
the company image as a result of that organizations must have to focus
in areas that reinforce and enhance satisfaction of employees which
leads higher customer retention and customer satisfaction (Aziz, 2015).

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter discusses the summary of findings, conclusion, and
recommendations regarding the level of employees’ job satisfaction and
its effect on customers’ satisfaction among selected restaurants in Iligan
City.
Summary
This study was intended to assess the level of employees’ job
satisfaction and its effect on customers’ satisfaction among selected
restaurants in Iligan City. It also sought to determine the demographic
profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, civil status and average
monthly income. This also aimed to determine the level of job
satisfactions in various restaurant’s in terms of achievements, work
55
itself, recognition, growth, work security, relationship peers, work
condition, job satisfaction, love of money, and pay satisfaction.
This study further sought to determine whether there is a
significant difference on the level of job satisfaction when grouped
according to their profile. Likewise, the study pursued to determine
whether there is a significant relationship between the level of job
satisfaction and the level of customer satisfaction. The study utilized the
descriptive-correlational design with 100 respondents who often dines in
different restaurants in Iligan city for the school year 2018-2019.
In gathering data the researchers used the standardized
questionnaires to achieve the desire of the study. The result were
analyzed through frequency and percentage distribution and percentage
to get the profile of the respondents. To obtain the difference and
relationship between variables, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
Pearson moment of correlation were used.
The following are the findings of the study.
1. The demographic profile of the respondents revealed that 51
percent are male, married with age ranges from 20 – 29 years old
who earns an average monthly income of P10,000 and below.
2. The overall level of job satisfaction is 3.64 rated as very satisfied.
3. The overall level of customers’ satisfaction is 3.72 rated as very
satisfied.
56
4. There is significant relationship between the level of job
satisfaction and the level customers’ satisfaction on the aspect of
achievement with p-value of 0.0000, work itself (0.0000),
recognition (0.0000), growth (0.0000), relationship with peers,
(0.0010), and working conditions (0.0160).
Conclusion
Different performance levels exist in how the restaurant employees
express their delivery of services in a form of service quality to achieve
customer satisfaction. Customer segments can have different preferences
depending on their needs and purchase behavior. the findings indicate
that restaurant employees belonging to different customer segments (e.g.,
satisfied vs. dissatisfied) expressed differences toward service quality and
customer satisfaction. Thus, the management of restaurant must notice
the needs of different market segments to meet the customers’ individual
expectations and satisfaction. This study proposes job satisfaction levels
for analyzing customer satisfaction on the aspect of achievement, work
itself, recognition, relationship with peers and their working conditions,
thereby helping restaurant managers improve customer satisfaction
effectively. Generally, customer satisfaction is addressed as a strategic
business development tool. Satisfied customers are most likely to share
their experiences with other people to the other. Equally well,
dissatisfied customers are more likely to tell others of their dissatisfied
experience. Research has demonstrated that even a difference between a
57
totally satisfied customer and dissatisfied customer could affect
customer service.
Recommendations
In the light of all the findings and conclusions, the researchers
recommend the following:
Employers
They should create a monitoring body or appoint an officer to
constantly evaluate the service quality of restaurants and employee
satisfaction.
Employees
That they cooperate with their employees in maintaining service
quality of restaurants and that they coordinate with employers as to their
needs.
Customers
That they habitually give feedback to restaurant employees and
managers for improvement of quality and services.
Future Researchers
That further studies on levels of satisfaction of employees and
customer satisfaction be done to improve the restaurants in the locality
