Abstract

Traffic enforcers play an essential role in society by managing and regulating traffic on the roads. They are responsible for enforcing traffic laws and regulations, directing traffic, and ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians. This study determined the level of work commitment, motivation, and job satisfaction among traffic enforcers in Ozamiz City. The respondents of the study include all thirty (30) traffic enforcers in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. An adapted survey questionnaire was the primary instrument utilized in gathering data for the study. Results revealed that the traffic enforcers in Ozamiz City were very committed, highly engaged, motivated, and satisfied with their current job. Age does not influence work commitment, but gender, civil status, and job satisfaction do. Similarly, a person’s level of education has an impact on their level of job satisfaction. The researcher recommended that traffic enforcers be encouraged to maintain their efficacy in maintaining public road safety. Furthermore, traffic enforcers should be commended for their high level of dedication, motivation, and satisfaction with their work. A yearly event to recognize outstanding performance should be held, and they should be allowed to undergo training and seminars to enhance their knowledge and skills.
