Abstract

Employment provides fulfillment and stability for all, including Deaf individuals. Despite growing opportunities, Deaf people still face challenges in securing jobs in competitive workplaces. This study evaluated the quality of work life and job satisfaction of 60 Deaf workers in Cebu City’s private sector using a descriptive-correlational design. Results showed a very high quality of work life (weighted mean = 3.37, “strongly agree†) and a slightly lower job satisfaction (3.18, “agree†), suggesting general positivity but some unmet expectations. Age and occupation were significantly related to quality of work life, while occupation alone influenced job satisfaction. Despite barriers, Deaf employees displayed resilience and maintained high satisfaction levels. The study underscores the need for inclusive practices, support systems, and equitable opportunities. It recommends action plans in digital literacy, employment training, and job placement support to strengthen Deaf employees’ capabilities, empowering them as agents of change in their families and communities.
