Results of this research study shows that the male employees are dominated by young people with age 21 to 30. More than half of the respondents are faculty members of the State University. Among the four (4) factors of sports aggression, physical aggression, anger and hostility were found significant of the respondents when grouped according to age, while verbal aggression was found not significant. As for the nature of employment, the respondents’ perceptions on sports aggression was found not significant. When the differences between the respondents’ perceptions on sports aggression and their performance in basketball was tested, it resulted to a significant relationship. The level of performance in playing basketball resulted to below average performance after the conduct of this study.
