II. NON TEACHING STAFF I. Basic Information Age. Presented in Table 19 are the data of non-teaching respondents age.

Majority of the non-teaching staff were among the middle adults having the age of 25-65 years with the frequency of 95 or 89.62 percent. Only 11 or 10.38 percent were young adults having the age bracket of 18-24 years old. These data reflect that middle adulthood is focused on productivity and that most of workers are from this age group. Table 19 Distribution of Non-Teaching Staff According to Age Age Young Adult Middle Adult Total Frequency (f) 11 95 106 Percentage (%) 10.38 89.62 100.00
