Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationship between research competence, research attitude, and research productivity among faculty members of Bohol Island State University (BISU) from 2019 to 2022. The researchers used a correlational survey design, collecting data from 205 permanent and temporary faculty members across 6 BISU campuses. The findings indicated that while the faculty members displayed good academic and intellectual competence, their research productivity was relatively low. Moderately competent research skills were observed in research conceptualization, data processing and analysis, and research design formulation, with data collection skills being the least competent. Faculty members demonstrated a positive research attitude, although some reported slight agreement with research anxiety and difficulty. Spearman's rho analysis confirmed a positive relationship between research competence, research attitude, and research productivity. Consequently, the study suggests promoting research competence, and research attitude to enhance research productivity, recommending workshops as a means of support and development for BISU faculty members.
