The purpose of this study is to determine the level of perception on factors affecting the performance of BSBA students during On-the-Job Training. The significant difference on the perception level when the respondents are grouped according to profile was also considered.
This study were participated by fifty (50) selected BSBA students from evening and upward mobility program (UMP). Descriptive-comparative type of research was employed in this study. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling technique.
Results have revealed that majority of the respondents is female ages 20-23 years old which comprised about 78% of the total population. It also shows the trainees belong to third year evening and weekend class of Brokenshire College with more than half of the total population (86%). The results further revealed that time availability, personality, and the problem encountered show significant difference in terms of gender.
Majority of respondents strongly agreed that time management (x=4.42), personality (x=4.47), and competence (x=4.66) are the factors affecting performance of the trainees in their OJT. However, they have only agreed that problems encountered the training can affect their performance (x=3.60).
Furthermore, there is no significant difference on the level of perception on the factors affecting OJT performance when grouped according to age, course program, and year level. This implies that the respondents have the same perception level on factors affecting performance on OJT. However, the respondents differ in the perception level on time management, personality, and competence as factors affecting performance in OJT. In the area of problems encountered, respondents do not differ in their perception.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the conceptual literature, research literature and the synthesis of the study. CONCEPTUAL LITERATURE
Todays, in this world of booming technology industry, courses like Bachelor of Science in Business Administration being upgraded to keep up with the information age. BSBA Department provides innovation in terms of quality of teaching and trainings, research and development, effectiveness and competency. On-the-Job Training is one of the training methods, because it is planned, organized and conducted at the employee’s worksite. OJT will generally be the primary method used for broadening employee skills and increasing productivity (McKenna and Beech, 2002). On-the-Job Training can be an effective training method for skills development because it can cause many problems if the skills and knowledge needed are not provided to the workers (Hall, 1990), he test whether this gap arise because women select workplaces that offer non-pecuniary benefits such as work-life of a part-time workers responsibilities while male have the difficulties in time. Another reason explored is the ability to communicate with others and self-confidence of males compared to females. Business Administration department led on the result of Clarks study it was evident that there was a significant difference on the perception level of the respondents in time management, personality and competence when classified according to sex.
Your attitude in the workplace can be one of the most – if not the most – telling aspect of how others in the company look at you and feel about you as a coworker stated by Mueller (2006). Your attitude therefore will definitely define you. Personality according to psychology is made up of the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that make a person unique. In addition to this, personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. Mendoza as cited by Bahian (2008) asserted that the students level of achievement in significantly related to the on the job training what the students learn from the classroom is what the students apply during OJT. The school provided related instruction and related skills; the role of industries is to sharpen the student’s competencies ad activities. Thus, cooperating industries should provided the student trainees the necessary reserves needed to improve their performance level of proficiency and specific skills and field of specialization. According to Morill (2001), working student reports more procrastination regarding weekly assignments rather than regular students. Rime management and geographical barriers influence of the performance during training. Unfortunately, students generally perceive that limited time does not have the negative effect on their performance.
Kilpatric (1994), makes the point that measures the changes in behaviour of practicum students during OJT especially on the extent of behaviour capability, improvement, behaviour implemented, application and as well as an increase in performance. Various motives have different results for students learning and performance. One is the development factor of complex behaviour and performance during their OJT.
Murphy (2008), in her “Learning for Performance Theory”, claimed that content and appropriate performance based on age of trains can improve knowledge and skills performance. Furthermore, she emphasized the efficiency, relevance, and preparation of learners for job performance during their training. According to Koontz (2007) many opportunities for development can be found on-the-job. Trainees can learn as they contribute to the aims of the enterprise. However, because this approach requires competent higher – level managers who can teach and coach trainees, there are limitations to do on-the-job training.
RESEARCH LITERATURE
According to Clark (1997), job satisfaction gender gap remains robust that women are still happier than men at work. Particularly
