Money attitude is a lifelong learning experience. One of the important steps you can take toward achieving your potential in work is to learn to monitor your attitude and the impact of your work performance, relationships and everyone around you (Dylan Henry, 2016).

A well-recognized scale, money attitude scale (MAS) with four dimensions (i.e. power-prestige dimension, retention time dimension, distrust dimension, and anxiety dimension) is introduced in the questionnaire to examine employees’ attitude towards money. Subsequently, it will examine how these dimensions in MAS affect influential attitudes. The sample consists of 400 employees of LGU Samal.
