Productivity Assessment of Faculty Members of the College of Business, Economics and Accountancy, Mariano Marcos State University, Philippines

This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to examine the profile, job motivation, job satisfaction, work commitment, teaching competence, personal and social qualities, and productivity levels of faculty members in instruction, research, and extension. The study further analyzed the relationships between these variables, excluding faculty profile in the correlation analysis. Findings revealed that faculty members exhibited high levels of motivation, demonstrating initiative, enthusiasm, and a willingness to take on additional responsibilities. Their motivation contributed to a positive workplace environment, benefiting both colleagues and students while potentially reducing faculty turnover. Faculty members also reported high job satisfaction, indicating strong engagement in their responsibilities, which enhanced their workplace performance and interactions with colleagues. Satisfied faculty members exhibited greater dedication to achieving institutional goals and objectives. Regarding work commitment, faculty members displayed strong dedication to their tasks, fostering teamwork, transparency, open communication, and ethical practices. Their teaching competence was also found to be high, demonstrating proficiency in subject matter, effective classroom management, and the ability to plan, communicate, and assess student progress efficiently. Personal and social qualities among faculty members were rated very good, reflecting their ability to build strong professional relationships, maintain a positive attitude, and adapt to their environment. These qualities encompassed both technical and soft skills, such as communication, emotional intelligence, and leadership. In terms of productivity, faculty members were highly productive in instruction, ensuring quality education that met industry and workplace demands. They were also productive in research, demonstrating competence in conducting studies and fulfilling research responsibilities. Similarly, their productivity in extension activities indicated active community engagement, knowledge-sharing, and partnership-building with industries and stakeholders. Correlation analysis revealed that only personal and social qualities significantly influenced productivity in instruction. However, productivity in research and extension was significantly related to job motivation, job satisfaction, work commitment, teaching competence, and personal and social qualities. The study concluded that faculty productivity in research and extension was influenced by multiple factors, while productivity in instruction was primarily affected by personal and social qualities. Recommendations included participation in training, seminars, and workshops to enhance motivation, satisfaction, commitment, teaching competence, and research and extension capabilities.
