Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of digital literacy on the digitalization of business name registration for micro business owners in Magsaysay, Occidental Mindoro using descriptive quantitative design. This study used stratified random sampling to determine the sample size of 182 micro-business owners from 12 different barangays in Magsaysay who were chosen as respondents to this study. Modified adapted questionnaires with three different parts were used as the main instrument of this study. The researcher personally distributed and retrieved the survey questionnaires. The frequency, weighted mean, and percentage were utilized to assess the respondent’s profile, their level of digital literacy, and the digitalization of business name registration. Pearson correlations were also used to determine the effect of digital literacy in the digitalization of business name registration. The results showed the following: (a) the majority of micro business owners in Magsaysay, Occidental Mindoro are in the age group of 38 and above, female, high school graduates, retail store owners, and located in Barangays Poblacion, Laste, Calawag, and Nicolas; (b) the respondents possessed a high level of digital literacy; (c) the respondents have a moderate extent in the digitalization of business name registration; and (d) there is a highly significant relationship between the level of digital literacy and the digitalization of business name registration with a correlational coefficient of .560 and p-value of 0.000. Considering these empirical results, future researchers may conduct an in-depth study on what hindered the micro-business owners from fully utilizing the business name registration system.
