ABSTRACT
This descriptive correlational study hoped to determine the wellness, self-esteem and job satisfaction of employees of a private university in Iloilo City during the COvid-19 pandemic. It also aimed to determine if there are significant relationships among the variables mentioned. The study utilized secondary data obtained from the Office of the President of the said university covering 333 employees. The survey include the employees’ personal and work-related characteristics; wellness in terms of physical, mental, emotional, social, occupational, and spiritual state; self-esteem; and job satisfaction. Results showed that the employees had very high self-esteem, wellness and job satisfaction. It revealed that female employees and those with doctorate degree were more likely to have high level of wellness. Likewise, faculty members were found to have a higher level of wellness and job satisfaction than the staff members. Moreover, employees who had a longer number of years of service and those who had a smaller number of times of being sick were more likely to have high self-esteem. Moreover, married employees and those who had longer number of years of service in the university had higher tendencies to be more satisfied in their job. Furthermore, employees who had a high level of wellness were also found to have high self-esteem and those who had a higher state of wellness were more satisfied in their job.
