This study was conducted to assess the perceived level of job satisfaction of Part time Instructors in Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College concerning their motivation level. The research identified the profile of the respondents concerning their age, sex, civil status, salary, educational attainment, length of service and number of trainings and seminars attended. This study aimed to evaluate motivation in terms of physiological needs, safety and security needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, self-actualization needs, work itself, advancement and job satisfaction in terms of salary and benefits, job opportunities, work recognition, working condition and supervision and among part- instructors in Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College. The study used descriptive and correlation research design. It involved the one hundred fifty-four (154) Part-time Instructors of the six campuses of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College This study used survey-questionnaire composed of three parts to gather the data needed. The first part of the questionnaire includes the profile of the Part-time Instructors of ISPSC which served as the respondents. The second part of the questionnaire consists of the level of motivation and the third part is about the Job satisfaction of the respondents. The questionnaire was collected for tabulation. Mean, standard deviation, pearson correlation coefficient, chi-square test for independence, one way annova were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: Demographic factors such as age, sex, civil status, length of service, salary and education level varies, thus, do not significantly influence their motivation and job satisfaction. Secondly, while Part-time Instructors exhibit high motivation in areas like social connections and career advancement opportunities, their motivation in physiological and safety needs is moderate. Thirdly, they express satisfaction with job opportunities and recognition but show lesser satisfaction with salary and benefits, suggesting room for improvement in compensation packages. Moreover, the study emphasizes the strong link between motivation and job satisfaction, highlighting how motivated part-time faculty tend to be more engaged and resilient. Overall, the consistently high levels of motivation and job satisfaction across ISPSC campuses reflect a positive organizational climate and effective management practices, with potential for further enhancement through fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment. The recommendations presented to the college cover a range of aspects to enhance Part-Time Instructors' experience at ISPSC. First, it is suggested that salary increases or modifications be made, maybe based on merit, in order to address particular issues raised by employees. Transparency and clear communication about such modifications should be prioritized. Second, it's critical to emphasize open and honest communication on the causes of any delays in salary, benefits, and perks. Clarity regarding compensation guidelines and career progression prospects should also be provided. Thirdly, it's important to keep work schedules flexible to meet the needs of part-time instructors in terms of both their personal and professional obligations. In order to improve teaching abilities and career advancement, it is also stressed how crucial it is for part-time faculty members to participate in organized professional development programs that include workshops and advice from seasoned faculty members. Finally, the need to continuously address motivation and job satisfaction among part-time faculty is emphasized, suggesting a focus on both addressing concerns and highlighting positive aspects of the work environment to cultivate a supportive and satisfying workplace culture.
