RESULTS
1ST PART OF MY QUESTIONNAIRE (INCLUDES AGE, GENDER, WORKING ARE ON BOARD)
RESPONDENT A (52 YEARS OLD, M, 27 YEARS ON BOARD) RESPONDENT E (30 YEARS OLD, F, 2 YEARS OB)
RESPONDENT B (47 YEARS OLD, M, 17 YEARS ON BOARD)
RESPONDENT C (48 YEARS OLD, M, 6 YEARS ON BOARD)
RESPONDENT D (38 YEARS OLD, M, 15 YEARS ON BOARD)
2ND PART CONTAINS THE MAIN QUESTIONS FOR INTERVIEW TO GATHER DATA FOR SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES.

1. FINDINGS…. On the part of the motivation, it is evident that seafarers have the concept of acknowledging

seafaring as a promising job that will help them fulfill their dreams which is not just for them, but for family as

well. For the interest, the perks of the work such as travelling, and working abroad seems to be a dream job for

them to have these chances and at the same time the upliftment if their family’s financial status.

Being a seafarer having a tax-free competitive salary with free accommodations and food, and learning

different languages are the perks when onshore. In fact, according to Salary explorer, “the minimum monthly

wage of a Filipino worker in 2020 is USD$ 136.26 (6,840 Philippine pesos), at a time when the ILO

recommended minimum wage for an AB seaman is USD$ 618 (applicable from 1 July 2019). For officers, the

minimum wage exceeds the USD$ 1,000. This makes seafaring an easier option for Filipinos, considering that

conditions onshore push them away from shore-based careers (safety4sea.com., 2021).

2. According to the response of the respondents based on their motivation and interest keeps them flexible,

patient and giving respect to their co-workers and supervisors to prevent any misunderstanding and argument

on board. This only proves the reflection of good motivation and interest that somehow manifest to their

relationship with their co-workers onboard, be it with their own level employees or their superiors. Good

motivations and interest towards work foster respect, willingness to learn, and good adjustments.

3. Based on the response of the respondents, seafarer’ interest and motivation have a positive effect on their

performance onboard. The common perspective of the respondents in having a good and quality work

performance, particularly reveal the constructive effect of a good motivation and interest to the seafarers’

working performance in general. Their work seemed to be easier to handle, and it brings out the best in them,

since their motivation is intrinsic, it comes form within, while interest is also a huge factor, since it matches their

career choice.

According to Souders, (2021) motivation in the workplace has been traditionally understood in terms of

extrinsic rewards, be in the form of compensation, benefits, perks, awards, or career progression.

RECOMMENDATION
1. On the basis of the motivations and interest, it is hereby recommended that choosing to become a

seafarer should have a deep sense of motivation and interest that will become a good foundation in

terms of becoming successful in maritime industry. This is not only limited to material success, but also a

personal satisfaction that will propel the seafarers to do more and achieve more, since their and interest

and motivation will be their guiding light. Parents and school should support intrinsic motivation because

working onboard is something that a seafarer should really like in order to be motivated despite

challenges. Families whoa re the main reasons of their motivations should also be supportive in them in

any possible way.

2. On the basis of dealing with co-workers onboard, the researcher recommends that the positive results if

this study may serve as an inspiration for others, especially to the future seafarers, that respect, working

hard, and doing your best to deal with people from different culture will give you a good and harmonious

relationship in your workplace, which is also a huge factor in your career.

3. Being optimistic in work is also important to achieve good performance. When a seafarer has interest and

motivation in doing what he loves most, difficulty becomes challenges rather than destructions, therefore

it is recommended to always have a positive disposition at work because this will always result to good

performance onboard.
