ABSTRACT

This descriptive study was about the interpersonal communication skills level of

Student Body Organization Officers of PHINMA-Cagayan de Oro College. This study

involved 48 SBO officers from the different colleges.

This study investigated into the respondents’ age, year level and organizational

position. These variables were studied to gauge and determine how the respondents’

level of interpersonal communication skills will be affected by variables.

The other factors key problem of the study was also to determine the relationship

between the independent variables such as gender, year level and position. Variables

on the different interpersonal communication skills were; verbal/non-verbal

communication, listening, and giving/getting feedback.

The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were female

which comprised the 52.08%, while 47.92% were males. Most of the respondents or

41.67% were sophomores, following the juniors with 37.50 %, fourth year who were

16.67% and fifth year who were only 4.16%.

The paper also revealed that the factors such as gender, year level and position

did not affect the interpersonal communication skills of the respondents. Majority of

them had an average level of interpersonal skills.

The data in the study showed that the profile of the respondents were not

significant to their interpersonal communication skills level. Its P-values were greater
than .05 level of significance. Profile of the respondents has no significant relationship

to all variables on the interpersonal communication skills of the SBO officers of

PHINMA-Cagayan de Oro College.

With the result of the study, the researchers recommend that the school will

provide programs that can promote interpersonal communication skills of the SBO

Officers and to students as well.
