A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, and data was gathered using a standardized questionnaire. The findings revealed that the demographic profile of the respondents was predominantly female, aged 36–40 years old, single, and college graduates. The respondents perceived a high level of financial and job security and reported a high level of employee satisfaction across all dimensions. A significant difference in financial and job security was identified based on sex, with males perceiving higher security than females. Additionally, a significant difference in work satisfaction was found based on the type of secondary business. A significant relationship was established between financial and job security and employee satisfaction. Consequently, a proposed human resource intervention program was developed to further sustain and enhance employee security and institutional satisfaction levels. Keywords: Financial Security, Job Security, Employee Satisfaction, Private Healthcare Facility, Negros Occidental INTRODUCTION The modern global economy has redefined the psychological contract between organizations and their workforce, elevating financial and job security from mere contractual obligations to fundamental determinants of institutional resilience. Financial security—the adequacy and predictability of an individual’s economic resources, coupled with job security, the perceived stability of one's professional tenure—forms a combined construct that dictates the mental bandwidth of the contemporary worker. According to Sypniewska et al. (2023), in the post-pandemic labor market, sustainable employee development is contingent upon a "security floor" that protects workers from external economic volatility. When these security pillars are robust, they mitigate "economic anxiety," allowing employees to transition from a survivalist mindset to one of professional flourishing. Consequently, this combined security acts as the primary driver of employee satisfaction, serving as the prerequisite for high-level engagement and long-term organizational loyalty (Sessionset al., 2021) . The imperative to investigate these factors is rooted in the evidence that satisfied employees are the primary engines of organizational efficiency and service excellence. Recent empirical findings from the Golden Ratio of Human Resource Management suggest that job security acts as a critical hygiene factor; its absence leads to immediate dissatisfaction and cognitive depletion, whereas its presence fosters a culture of excellence that can withstand market fluctuations. When an organization stabilizes its workforce’s economic and professional baseline, it triggers a significant expansion in change-oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB); minimizing the threat of professional vulnerability fosters an environmental pocket of psychological safety, empowering personnel to actively volunteer innovative solutions that exceed formal task parameters (Li & Xie, 2022; Lu et al., 2021) . Furthermore, a stable financial foundation acts as a catalyst for human capital investment; when job security is guaranteed, employees are significantly more likely to invest in specialized training and long-term skill acquisition, which directly elevates the institution’s operational stan
