To determine if there is a significant difference in the problems encountered by newly hired faculty members when they are grouped according to age, gender, civil status, educational attainment, length of teaching experience, number of children, monthly income and religion. The study was conducted at De La Salle-Halth Sciences Campus Dasmariñas, Cavite and in St. Dominc College, Bacoor, Cavite specifically in the College of Nursing.

There is a significant difference in the problems encountered by newly hired faculty members when grouped according to age and educational attainment. In terms of age, the overall computed t-ratio of 3.073 is greater than the t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at 0.05 level of significance. In terms of educational attainment, the overall computed F-value of 5.521 is higher than the tabular F-ratio of 3.23 at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. 4. There was no significant difference when they are grouped according to gender, civil status, length of teaching experience, number of children, monthly income and religion. In terms of gender, the overall computed t-ratio of 0.385 is less than the tabular t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at 0.05 level of significance and degrees of freedom of 48. There was no significant difference when grouped according to civil status since the computed t-ratio of 1.77 is lower than the tabular ratio t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at the level of significance and degrees of freedom at 48. There was no significant difference when they are grouped according to length of teaching experience since the t-ratio is 0.440 less than the tabular ratio t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at 0.05 level of significance and is at 48 degrees of freedom. There was no significant difference when they are grouped according to number of children since the t-ratio is 0.096 less than the tabular ratio t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at the 0.05 level of significance and at 48 degrees of freedom. There was no significant difference in monthly income since the t-ratio of 1.698 was less than the tabular t-ratio (t-critical value) of 2.021 at 0.05 level of significance and at 48 degrees of freedom. There was no significant difference difference when they are grouped according to religion since the t-ratio is 1.826 and this is less than the tabular ratio (t-critical value) of 2.2021 at 0.05 level of significance and degrees freedom at 48. From the given findings, these were the conclusions formulated: 1. Most of the respondents of the study were 20-20 years old; female; single; were holding a degree in nursing; worked for below 1 year and 1 to 2 years; have no children; have monthly income of 20,000 pesos and below and were Catholics. 2. The respondents disagree that there are problems encountered by newly hired faculty members. 3. There is a significant difference in the problems encountered by newly hired faculty members when they are grouped in terms of age, educational attainment.
