Abstract

This study examined the relationship between compensation and job performance among health workers in Cateel, Davao Oriental. Specifically, it assessed compensation in terms of rewards, benefits, and incentives, and their influence on job performance. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was employed, involving 42 health workers. Results revealed that compensation levels were generally high, with rewards (M=4.12) and benefits (M=4.11) rated higher than incentives (M=3.66). Job performance was rated very high (M=4.40). Correlation analysis showed that rewards had a strong positive relationship with job performance (r=0.73), followed by benefits (r=0.61) and incentives (r=0.42). Regression analysis indicated that only rewards significantly predicted job performance. The findings suggest that strengthening reward systems can enhance employee performance. The study provides practical insights for improving compensation strategies in rural healthcare settings.
