Abstract:

This study aimed to see if there was a correlation and differences between the commitment and satisfaction of Psychology Society Officers and Psychology Professors. The respondents’ demographic profiles are age, sex, and job title. For the 2019–2022 school year, this research analyzed the responses to a survey of six psychology professors and twenty-one Psychology Society Officers of the Psychological Society using a correlational-comparative methodology. Based on the findings, commitment has a significant relationship to the satisfaction of the Psychology Society Officers with Pearson r 0.67 and a p-value of 0.000. The analysis revealed that commitment has no significant relationship to the satisfaction of the Psychology Professors with Pearson r 0.18 and p-value of 0.729. The commitment of Psychology Society Officers has no significant relationship to the commitment of the Psychology Professors with Pearson r 0.12 and p-value of 0.825, and the satisfaction of Psychology Society Officers has no significant relationship to the satisfaction of the Psychology Professors with Pearson r -0.65 and p-value of 0.166. Lastly, the commitment of Psychology Society Officers has a significant difference to the commitment of the Psychology Professors with a pvalue of 0.000. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that satisfaction of Psychology Society Officers has a significant difference to the satisfaction of the Psychology Professors with a p-value of 0.023.
