Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the level of on-the-job training performance of the BSBA Management Accounting trainees of Cagayan State University for the School year 2015–2016 and at the same time to assess if there is a significant difference in the perception of respondents during the first and second semester. This study was conducted at the Cagayan State University-Andrews Campus, Tuguegarao City where the respondents were enrolled in the OJT program. A total of 99 BSBA MA trainees enrolled in OJT during the first semester and 73 BSBA MA trainees enrolled in OJT during the second semester were considered as the subject of evaluation for the said study. The instrument employed in the study was the Evaluation form used to assess the performance of the BSBA trainees in their on-the-job training. The data gathered were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using the descriptive statistics like frequency counts, rank, percentage and weighted mean. Descriptive method was used to come up with a good result of the study. Result of the study revealed that as to the level of OJT performance, during the first semester work qualities and office management tied in the first spot with a grand mean of 1.34 and during the second semester, personal traits ranked first with a grand mean of 1.37. The study further revealed that there is a significant difference between the perception of the respondents during the 1st semester and 2nd semester. It is therefore recommended that appropriate orientation be given through extensive workshops, trainings and seminars to prepare the students and help them acquire the essential skills and recognize better the demand of the real corporate world before leaving the portals of the university and before the actual immersion in the industry and proper OJT monitoring towards doing the right things right all the time while they are on their on-job-training would be a great help towards the growth and development of the trainees.
