What actions may be undertaken to address these cited factors The descriptive type of investigation was used and prepared questionnaire were the data gathering instrument used in the study and the following are the findings of the study: 1. On the profile of barangay treasurers in Legaspi City Eighty percent or 56 out of 70 of the barangay treasurers in the city are females and 52 are married. Of the 70 barangay treasurers, 44 belonged to the relatively young (21-40) age bracket. While no barangay treasurers who has only reached the elementary level or has graduated from this level only, has been appointed by his or her respective barangay chairman to the said position, only 30 are college graduates with 22 having reaches college level only. Most of the barangay treasurers have worked in either the government or the private sector with 14 out of the 70 having worked in an accounting office. Barangay Treasurers have attended trainings and seminar-workshops on barangay fiscal and property management barangay budgeting, barangay fiscal accountability and auditing procedures, etc. Majority or 48 % of the 70 Barangay Treasurers receives a monthly honorarium from somewhere in the range of 900-1199 pesos and only 1% barangay treasurers received an honorarium of more than P2000 pesos. 2. On the performance level of the barangay treasurers in the City of Legazpi as perceived by a a) barangay captain b) barangay treasurers themselves c) City Accounting staff and d) auditors. The barangay treasurers rated themselves with the adjectival and average ratings: Satisfactory (4.9) and Satisfactory (3.2) on the Collection, Disbursement and Reportorial performance indicators, respectively. The Barangay Captains rated their treasurers with an average of 4.25 (very satisfactory) on collection, 5.0 (excellent) for disbursement and 4.6 (excellent) for reportorial functions. The city accounting staff and auditors gave the following ratings respectively: on collection, 3.0 and 3.08 9satisfactory); on disbursement, 3.75 and 4.4 (very satisfactory); and on reportorial functions, 3.0 and 3.0 (satisfactory) 3. On the factors affecting performance as perceived by respondents Cited as the most to affect the performance of the barangay treasurers in terms of personal factors was educational attainment which was rank first. Second was civil status and ranked 3rd and 4th are age and gender, respectively. As to work related factors are concerned, work experience was ranked 1st followed closely by income derived from other sources and related trainings. Least ranked as a factor was their present occupation. 4. On the solutions to restraining factors cited The first ranked solution given to personal-related factors stated was to relieved barangay treasurers who were above 55 years old of their duties, to make sure that those appointed to the position of barangay treasurers should have at least reached college level, that the appointment to the post is not based on their either gender or civil status but on the capability to perform the duties inherent to the position. As to solutions offered regarding work-related factors, the barangay treasurer’s knowledge about accounting was deemed necessary. On the factor on related trainings, the majority response was to increase the number of seminar/trainings that the barangay treasurer and the other official can attend .I ranked next to this was the clamor for an increased support from the city in terms of seminar or trainings. On the sector regarding present occupation, ranked first as a solution by barangay treasurers for themselves. The auditors and the accounting staff however, rated turnover of financial reports from previous barangay treasurer for record purposes and as basis for making present reports. Both groups however agree that more seminars/trainings on the exclusive functions of barangay treasurers should be conducted. On the factor of income as means of hampering the expressed duties of the barangay treasurers, both the city accounting staff and the auditors felt an increased in honorarium and additional benefits were more important. The barangay captains however believed that as it was important for the barangay treasurers to receive more benefits, it would probably be wiser for the latter to have fixed salaries, not honorarium, so they can function efficiently. On the length of service that each of these 70 barangays have to contend with, both city accounting staff and auditors believe it best if the post is permanent and that their appointments should be based on merit. Furthermore, the city accounting staff and the city auditors believed that a permanent position would ensure that the continuity of the work is not disrupted. Based on the reported findings, the barangay treasurers of the city are mostly females, married, mostly college graduates and relatively young. Less than half however have previously worked in different public and private offices, trainings of which were related to their present occupation as barangay treasures, training of which were related to their present occupation as barangay treasurers. Mostly has served as barangay treasures for an average of 1 to 3 years. Of the 70, only 20 are currently employed elsewhere therefore, the only ones having income derived from the other sources while the rest rely solely on their honoraria. The collection and reporting functions of barangay treasurers were carried out satisfactory while the disbursement function of the same was performed at the optimum. The kind of work experience that barangay treasurers have had prior to and during their term as well as the length of service extended and income derived from any sources were inadequate. Appointment of barangay treasurers should not be abused on any form or measure such as civil status or gender except merit of the qualification. The researcher strongly recommends that guidelines for the hiring and/ or appointment of barangay treasurers be devised. Policy makers should look into the professionalization of the barangay treasurer’s post so that a fixed salary and security of tenure for the same can be achieved. |
