This research was conducted as an initial move to serve the purpose of studying the need to provide counseling services in the local military organizations. It was meant to study the correlation between job satisfaction and morale of enlisted personnel, whereby the theoretical framework of the research was developed based on Fredrik Herzberg's 2-factor theory of job satisfaction.

The focus of the discussion was directed on the findings and their implications toward the provision of counseling in military services as a whole. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n3s1p507
