In this paper, we study in detail the dynamics of field entropy squeezing (FES)for qubit-field system whose dynamics is described quantitatively in terms of multi-photon and phase damping processes. Especially, considering a two-level atom interacts with a single-mode quantized field in a coherent state inside a phase-damped cavity, and taking into
