Considering the vital roles of the aging workforce in the Philippine development as well\u00a0as the unavailability of health data, there is a need to address gaps in the current state of employment and their\u00a0quality of life, which may likewise improve their performance. This study aimed to assess the relationship of individual\u00a0and workplace factors with the subjective well-being (SWB) of older employees in the academe in line with the\u00a0University of the Philippines Wellness Initiatives for Seniors and Elders (UPWISE) Program.\nMethods. The 69 randomly selected respondents were\u00a0employees ages 50 years and above as of June 30, 2020,\u00a0representing the faculty, administrative staff, including\u00a0the research extension and professional staff (REPS)\u00a0of the leading university in the Philippines. SWB was\u00a0measured through the WHO-5, and its association with\u00a0the identified individual and workplace factors was\u00a0tested through Fisher\u2019s exact test. The resulting p-values\u00a0were tested at a five percent level of significance.\nResults. Almost ninety percent of the respondents had\u00a0better SWB. When tested at a five percent level of\u00a0significance, the SWB had no significant associations\u00a0with 1) individual factors: perceived health condition\u00a0(p-value = 0.34); diagnosed health condition (p-value\u00a0= 0.97); individuals as care recipients (p-value = 0.85);\u00a0as well as 2) workplace factors: new knowledge and\u00a0skills (p-value = 0.37); overall growth and development\u00a0(p-value = 0.11); value of work (p-value = 0.2); and work\u00a0environment (p-value = 0.28).\nConclusion. With the lack of statistically significant\u00a0associations, further research should be done with\u00a0regard to other aspects of individuals and workplaces.\u00a0This includes the relationship between individuals and\u00a0their caregivers, including the support provided, the\u00a0presence of existing health programs, personal growth\u00a0efforts, working hours, and salaries. Qualitative studies\u00a0may provide an in-depth understanding of the cultural\u00a0factors associated with SWB in a developing country\u00a0such as the Philippines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47895\/amp.v60i14.11872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T02:57:24Z","timestamp":1785812244000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors Associated with Subjective Well-being of Older Employees in the Academe: A Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.47895","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Andrea D.","family":"Gestiada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Health, University of the Philippines Manila, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Ann J.","family":"Ladia, PhD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Epidemiology, National Institutes of Health, University of the Philippines Manila, Manila, Philippines"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]},"container-title":["Acta Medica Philippina"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/11872\/7209","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/11872\/7209","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T02:57:24Z","timestamp":1785812244000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/view\/11872"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"14","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47895\/amp.v60i14.11872","relation":{},"ISSN":["2094-9278","0001-6071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2094-9278","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0001-6071","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]}}}
