Abstract

The study determined the effects of diabetic management compliance on work engagement and generativity of persons with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Cavite, Philippines. A non-randomized causal research design was used within the study to investigate the relationship between the variables. Quantitative data was gathered through a questionnaire created with a combination of self-made and standardized questions, then measured with a Likert Scale. The 50 participants for this study were permanent residents of Cavite, Philippines, aged between 30 to 64, diagnosed with Type II Diabetes Mellitus for at least 5 years, and had minimum work experience for 5 years. The respondents were gathered through non-randomized sampling. Both the screening and answering the questionnaire were done online through Google Forms. The study’s results revealed that participants have high compliance with diabetic management protocols and a high level of generativity. Level of work engagement is revealed to only be minimally affected by diabetes symptoms, as such, diabetic management compliance has no significant effect on work engagement. However, diabetic management compliance has been identified as a factor that can enhance a person’s status of generativity, as higher compliance leads to higher status of generativity. Given the lack of studies on the topic, further research is needed to understand the correlation between diabetic management compliance, work engagement, and generativity of the identified population.
