These riders do not enjoy the benefits that they should get asregular workers of the food delivery apps that, for all intents and purposes, employedthem—no assurances of income, no accident insurance, no social security, and noprotection from termination. This quantitative and descriptive-correlational researchinvestigated the relationship between remuneration and job satisfaction among fifty(50) delivery riders in Butuan City, Philippines. The researchers made use of likertscale survey questionnaire to determine the range of remuneration and the factors thataffects job satisfaction. The data gathered were analyzed, correlate, and interpret. Theanalyzed data revealed an average level of commitment, moderate level of workenvironment, and low level of incentives and benefits. Moreover, there is no significantrelationship between the remuneration and the level of job satisfaction among deliveryriders. The findings concluded that delivery riders in Butuan City did not have asignificant relationship between the delivery riders’ remuneration and overall jobsatisfaction. This means that within the range observed in the study, variations inincome do not notably impact how satisfied riders feel about their work. It wassuggested that other factors played a more significant role in delivery rider satisfactionin Butuan City, such as the work environment, incentives, benefits, or commitment. DOWNLOAD PDF >>

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for housing in rapidly urbanizing cities like Butuan has brought rental property ownership to the forefront of local economic activity. As the city continues to grow, so does the complexity of managing rental properties, making it vital to understand the lived experiences of those directly involved in this sector. The study explored the lived experiences, opportunities, and challenges faced by rental property owners in Butuan City. A descriptive qualitative research design was used, employing semi-structured interview guide to gather insights from ten rental property owners. Conducted in selected barangays—San Ignacio Pob (Brgy 15), Tandang Sora (Brgy 12), and Lapu-Lapu Pob (Brgy 8)—participants were purposively chosen for their relevant experiences in managing rental properties. Data were analyzed using coding and thematic analysis to identify key themes related to their experiences, challenges, and strategies. The study revealed that rental property ownership in Butuan City offers significant opportunities and challenges. Rental properties provide a reliable source of income, support financial stability, and present potential for business growth due to high tenant demand, particularly in urbanized areas near schools and workplaces. However, property owners face recurring issues such as tenant non-payment, behavioral conflicts, and property maintenance burdens, compounded by regulatory compliance requirements and financial constraints. While technology, particularly social media, has been beneficial for marketing and tenant acquisition, many property owners still rely on traditional networking methods. DOWNLOAD DOCS>>
