Employees’ behavior leads to customer satisfaction, which, in return, affects the organization’s overall productivity. This research attempts to explore the behavior of employees with customers’ satisfaction among selected establishments in Zambales.

The respondents strongly agreed on employees’ behavior regarding employees’ general characteristics, behavior towards customers, and work attitude.
