Sufficiency of Organizational Resources in University of Bohol

Abstract

Organizational resources include financial, human, production facilities, and information technology. The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) evaluated the institutional sustainability of schools by looking into the learning resources and support structures, and management of resources. Educational institutions borrowed from business sectors the model of value enhancement through effectiveness and efficiency to produce quality graduates and programs. This study assessed the sufficiency of organizational resources in the University of Bohol (UB) in its continual quest for educational leadership being Bohol’s first university. The researcher formulated survey questions adapted from core indicators of key result areas of the CHEd Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) and the Institutional Quality Assurance Monitoring Evaluation (IQuAME) Self Evaluation Documents (SED). Respondents for the study were selected through stratified random sampling from 4 distinct UB groups: administrators, faculty members, non-teaching personnel, and students. The group responses were analyzed for differences in the means through weighted means. The study revealed the sufficiency of organizational resources of UB in terms of resource utilization, faculty, physical structures, laboratories, libraries, and IT facilities. The findings warrant the conclusion that the necessary quality processes are present in UB and are sufficiently robust at the institutional level, thus, enabling the institution to deliver quality teaching-learning outcomes.
