Abstract:
The study analyzes the relationship between the Guilt-and-Shame
Proneness (GASP) and Workplace Productivity of the employees from Caniogan Credit
& Development Cooperative (CCDC). A descriptive research design was employed in the
study, and quantitative measures were used in examining the relationship between the
two variables.
A total of 75 employees participated in the study. All of the respondents
were asked to accomplish survey form that is divided into three parts: the (1) biographical
information, (2) GASP questionnaire, and (3) performance appraisal grade.
From the findings, it can be concluded that the employees of CCDC are
prone to feeling both the self-conscious emotions guilt and shame, with a higher tendency
to have Guilt-Negative-Behavior Evaluation, Guilt-Repair, and Shame-Negative-Self
Evaluation compared to their propensity to Shame-Withdraw. A low positive correlation
between GASP and Workplace Productivity entails that a person who is likely to feel
guilt, or shame, or both is indeed productive and contributes in the accomplishment of
tasks inside the organization.
Based from the overall findings of the study it can be concluded that the
Guilt-and-Shame Proneness of the employees in CCDC plays a Promotive role in task
completion, hence affects the Workplace Productivity positively. The study recommends
that the employees should be allowed to work in an environment that creates a sense of
self-worth.
