First part consisted of the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, civil status, present area of assignment, length of service in the area of assignment and in the hospital and their highest educational attainment. Second part consisted of a 30-item situational tool that determined the extent of the feelings of the respondents in their work climate in terms of the six dimensions namely flexibility, responsibility, standards, rewards, clarity and team commitment and the third part is composed of a 15-item situational tool that encompasses the perceived levels of work performance in terms of skills, knowledge and attitude. Data gathering and collection was done from December 2006 to January 2007.  	Percentage distribution was used to describe the nurses profile. To find out the extent of the feelings of the nurses in their work climate and their perceived level of performance weighted mean was used. Chi-square was utilized to determine the relationship between the profile of nurses and their feelings in the work climate; and between the profile of nurses and their perceived level of work performance. Correlation index particularly Pearson r was used to establish the relationship the feelings of the nurses in their work climate and their perceived level of performance.  	The findings of the study revealed that the nurses have most extensive feelings when it comes to responsibility and standards while they have a moderately extensive feeling in terms of flexibility, rewards, clarity and team commitment. Results likewise showed that the nurses perceived that they have a very high level of performance in terms of skills, knowledge and attitude.

More so, there is no significant relationship between the nurses perceived level of performance and their profile as long as the nurses are doing their job and rendering the best nursing care to patients.  	Results showed that there is a significant relationship between the feelings of nurses in terms of team commitment and standards of their work climate and their perceived level of performance in terms of their skill.
