Abstract

The moderating effect of demographic profiles on the relationship between Gender and Development (GAD) cooperative practices and employee engagement in selected Bukidnon cooperatives was examined by analyzing how age, gender, position, employment status, and length of employment influence the effectiveness of GAD initiatives in enhancing employee motivation, commitment, and performance. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational design with moderation analysis, data were collected from 105 cooperative employees through a validated survey questionnaire measuring demographic profiles, perceptions of GAD practices-including seminars, policies, and work environment-and levels of employee engagement. Findings revealed that GAD practices were generally perceived as well implemented, with employee engagement rated highly across motivation, commitment, and performance. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant positive relationship between GAD practices and employee engagement. Moreover, demographic factors, especially age, position, and length of employment, moderated this relationship, with older employees, those in higher positions, and those with longer tenure experiencing greater engagement benefits from GAD initiatives. The study concludes that while GAD practices effectively promote employee engagement, their impact varies across different demographic groups. It recommends that cooperatives develop and implement GAD strategies and policies tailored to the specific needs of diverse demographic segments to maximize employee commitment, innovation, and productivity. These findings underscore the importance of inclusive, data-driven approaches to gender equality in cooperative organizations.
