Abstract

This study assessed the work life of differently abled public servants of Carmen, Davao del Norte. This study’s main objective is to unravel the experiences of local differently abled public servants. Further, assess the dimensions of their work life based on the principles of Person-in-Environment theory, including material well-being, interpersonal relations and social inclusion, personal development, and self-determination/actualization. This study used the qualitative-descriptive method to describe and clarify human experience as it appears in people’s lives. In addition, this study was conducted in the Local Government Unit of Carmen and employed a homogenous group sampling. Participants are differently abled employees in the locality served for at least six (6) months to a year. The researchers designed an interview-guide questionnaire that elicits the dimensions mentioned above. The result has shown that seven (7) emerging themes can be extracted from the work life of differently abled public servants. The first theme is the unstable employment of the participants. Another theme derived from this study is the existence of job insecurity in the sector. The study also revealed that differently abled government employees experience work impediments and work environment plight in their work life. Lastly, the study revealed the lessons and insights that we can derive from their work lives. The result of the study will aid in creating interventions and programs that best improve and impact the work life of differently abled government employees.
