Satisfaction of Students on their Respective Organization at Asian Institute of Maritime Studies

Abstract

The study endeavored to elucidate the performance as well as the satisfaction of students toward their respective student organization in AIMS. Descriptive-correlation was used to determine the significant difference in the performance and satisfaction of the student organizations while documentary analysis was used to assess the performances of the same organizations. Employing stratified random sampling as sampling technique, and using Slovin’s formula to derive the samples, respondents were 244 randomly selected students from course-based organizations at the College of Business (CB) and Maritime College (MC) in AIMS, Pasay City. A validated, self-made survey questionnaire was utilized as data gathering instrument. Data were outsourced at the Center for Student Services (CeSS). To analyze the data, percentage, weighted mean, and analysis of variance were employed as statistical tool for the study. Based on the findings, Nautica Society and Marine Engineering Society (MES) had the largest student organization populations while members who are moderately active also comprise the largest number in terms of population. Performance wise, the AIMS Cyber Mode Society (ACYMOS), Culinarians Hospitality and Entrepreneur Fellow Society (CHEFS), and Junior Executive Society (JES) were student organizations that have almost complied with the required number of activities to be held. In terms of satisfaction, the members of Nautica and MES were only satisfied (WM = 2.7 and 2.6 respectively) with their seminars, community services, other activities, officers elected, and advisers appointed except for MES’ community service with fairly satisfied result mainly because there were no activities held by these student organizations for the previous academic year. PSCAS and NARCHIMES members were also satisfied because of the same reason above. A high satisfaction level was also given to the officers and advisers of other organizations namely CHEFS, JES and ACYMOS because of their active leadership on their respective organizations. Except for the community services rendered, there is no significant difference between the members of the different organization and their level of satisfaction in terms of seminars held, other activities held, officers elected, and advisers appointed. No significant difference was also noted in the performance of the organization and their activities.
