CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM
Introduction
The economic crisis that befaced our country today due to economic crisis attributed by the implementation of train laws, unexpected inflation rates has extremely affected various educational institutions, especially as it posed a threat to all major’s sources of income along tuition fees, research and extension funding as well as the entire physical plant development of the school. Despite of these external environment threats and challenges, the Naga College Foundation, especially the College of Arts and Sciences have continued to move forward in capacity building to compare for the very best students, producing creative works and researches.
The NCF- College of Arts and Sciences is a place where students can find great opportunities, rich and rewarding educational environment, marked by functional and closed collaborations and interactions with their peers and mentors. It is a place where they can be exposed to brilliant ideas they never imagined and where they can explore greener avenues or paths they never expected.
The College is dedicated to provide students with intellectual foundations for a rich, fulfilled and meaningful life and promising future for all. With access to effective and efficient faculty and staff and a wide range of majors and minors, prospective incoming students can make a paradigm shift in their learning outcomes and will also have every opportunity to follow their envisioned dreams.
The College will surely continue to sustain, enhance and amplify academic standing, advocating for the ways an art and science education can promote inquiry, curiosity and thirst for learning. This is what drives discovery and inculcate the desire to apply knowledge and expertise in making the college community in particular and the nation in general by finding solutions to local and global challenges.
The researcher himself viewed a lot of evidence confirming the power and impact of offering the following baccalaureate degree courses: BS Biology, BS Math, Bachelor of Public Administration, BA English Language, BA Filipino Language, and BA Communication. All these courses offering are demanding more liberal arts graduates to manifest versatile skills needed to produce productive careers and long-term fulfillment.
According to Mulay, Ajay (2011)[1], every educational institution endeavor to be more effective, efficient and competitive, Systems cannot improve with changes only in policy, priority and service changes. There are many intervening factors that can have unexpected results. Even the well thought- out and carefully detailed plans fail to achieve the goals due to unforeseen events typically faced by educators and school managers ‘participants dealing with non-routine events. So planning should be dynamic and strategic taking into consideration the unexpected stimuli that changes course of current events. Henceforth, strategic planning must entail continuous improvement at all levels of the educational system, which in turn requires visibility into the planning process and achievement of goals in comparison with the previous cycle of performance.
To the above undertakings and challenges, a strategic plan for the college will serve as guide in establishing and affirming the NCF- College of Arts and Sciences as a Recognized leader in teaching and learning, research and Creative scholarship, outreach and engagement The College is committed to a continues strategic planning focus to especially identify key programs, strategies and measures to define achieve college goals, The proposed five-years strategic plan will promote a connected community with shared values and road map for direction-setting.
This proposed five-years strategic plan will seek to advance the College of arts and Sciences stated vision, mission, goals and core values. The researcher himself as Dean of the College will see his ambitious goals by adopting this Five-Year Strategic Plan for the college.
Statement of the Problem
This Strategic Research Plan for the NCF-College of Arts and Sciences will serves as road map over the next five years from 2018-2023.
It endeavors to investigate and find answers to the following questions:
b.1) Enrollment rate, b.4) Drop-out rate, and
b.2) Graduation Rate b.5) Prestigious Awards?
b.3) Retention Rate,
2.) What is the five-year futuristic projection of the college along the following set of education parameters;

Assumptions
This study was bench on the following basic assumptions:
Significance of the Study
The study would be of great help to the following:
To the College Dean. The College Dean can monitor and evaluate periodically the progress and development of the college five-year strategic plan towards possible key results and assess how and where it may have gotten off track.
To the College Board of Trustees. With a college plan in place, the governing body of the college can be provided with functional roadmap where they can assess, evaluate and modify to facilitate effective and functional governance and decision-making and they can provide appropriate direction for the future of the college.
To the Faculty and Staff. A very functional, well implemented and communicated plan may holds all faculty and staff accountable for their actions and encourages collaboration. The plan may also encourages commitment by showing staff members that their work is essential, part of a larger strategy to help their college succeed.
To the Students. Students are the ultimate beneficiaries of the results revealed in this study. Strategic planning will provide a framework so that most important priority of the school-students’ educational achievement is taken care of.

To CHED officials. Results revealed in this study could provide insights among CHED officials to assist the college in promoting, directing, and supporting various school advocacies along instruction, research and extension services.
Other Researchers. The results will serve as possible related literature and studies for strategic long-range plan for the College of Arts and Sciences. Enrichment or validation of the plan of the same variables is recommended for them to be able to reinforce results of this investigation. The findings can also serve as basis for future conceptual frameworks.
Scope and Delimitation
The strategic research plan for the NCF- College of Arts and Sciences sill serve asa road map over the next five years from 2018 to 2023.
The investigation and evaluation will focus on the following variables and parameters: 1) The extent of the College manifestation of its progress and development for the past five years along the following set of the education parameters: a) Teaching Performance, and b.) school performance along: b.1) Enrollment rate, b.2) Graduation rate, b.3) Retention rate, b.4) Drop-out rate , and b.5) prestigious Awards: 2) Five year futuristic projection of the college along the following set of education parameters: a) enrollment rate, b) Graduation rate, c) retention rate and d) Drop-out rate; 3) The strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results (SOAR) of the NCF- College of Arts and Sciences along the following core areas: a) student development, b) Faculty and Staff development, c) Research, d) outreach program and e) Curriculum development; 4) Specific Goals and Strategies that can be developed and implemented along the following core areas: a) student development, b) Faculty and Staff development, c) Research, d) Outreach Program, and e) Curriculum development.
The respondents of this study almost all College officials, Deans, Directors, Faculty and Staff and Students of the NCF- College of Arts and Sciences. Other stakeholders such as the parents of the students, LGU Officials and members of the College Board of trustees are also considered as respondents.
The data gathering tools to be used are as follows: 1) Focus-Group-Discussion, 2) Series of Workshops, 3) College wide meetings, 4) Survey Questions, 5) Interviews and 6) Documentary Analysis.
There was no attempt to investigate the production agenda of the College, hence the delimitation of this research plan.
Definition of Terms
For a better understanding of the difficult terms used in the study the following are defined conceptually and operationally.
Planning. “A formalized procedure to produce an articulated result, in the form of an integrated system of decisions.” Thinking about and attempting to control the future state of decisions” (Mintzberg, 1994, p11-12)[2]
Planner. As ion the case of this study, the researcher himself as Dean of the College itself is the Chief-planner. He is supposed to be assisted by his comrade, faculty and staff members of the College of Arts and Sciences, who are directly involved in conducting the strategic planning process. Occasionally, planners include other stakeholders of the college, such as funders, community leaders and program experts. Facilitators may also the planners to develop and follow their own planning process.
Strategy. A major approach to achieve strategic goal(s) or address strategic issues. For example, a strategy might a major approach that utilized issues. For example, a strategy might major approach that utilized internal strengths of the college to take advantage of external opportunities while supporting up in internal weakness to prevent the occurrence of external threats. Strategies are usually long-term in nature.
Strategic. A matter is considered to be strategic if it involves strong input and support from College Officials; was produced from careful consideration of the effects of potential changes in the internal and external environment of the college; is based on the future of the college; will have significant on the governance, leadership and operations of the college; and will involve extensive use of the college resources during plan implementation.
Strategic Planning. “A formal process designed to help a college identify and maintain an optimal alignment with the most important elements the environment , within which the college resides.” This environment consists of “the political, social, economic, technological and educational ecosystem, both internal and external to the college “(Rowley, Lujan, Dolence, 1997 p.14-15)[3].
Vision Statement. A clear and compelling description of the college and its customers/clients at some time in the future. Some planners prefer a strategic vision, which depicts the college and customers/clients shortly after the strategic plan has been implemented. College vision sets out the reason and purpose for organizations’ existence and the “ideal” state the organization aims to achieve.
Mission Statement. A brief comprehensive statement of purpose of the college or program. It describes the overall purpose of the college. The statement can vary widely in terms of content and scope. For example some planners refer to the vision and/or values statements as part of mission statement as well.
Goal. A desired end result, or the specific accomplishment to be achieved at some point in the future. Strategic goals are the planned objectives that an organization strives to achieve. Most senior managers will take the time to develop and articulate appropriate strategic goals for their business in order to demonstrate to subordinate employees what their plans and vision for the company are.” (www.businessdictionary.com>definition) [4]
Core Values. It describes the overall, top-level priorities for an organization chooses to conduct its activities and to be viewed by the public, for example, commitment, achievement, service oriented and integrity. Some planners distinguish between preferred values and actual values. Preferred values are those that the college hopes to adhere to in its activities. “Actual values reflect the behaviors that are actually occurring in the workplace.” (Liedtka, 1998) [5]
Teaching Performance. Can be determined by using the teacher performance Evaluation Rubric consisting of indicators based on CHED standards for the teaching profession. The evaluation process requires the evaluator to use evidence gathered in a variety of avenues to determine a teacher performance rating. (education.ohio.gov>topics>Teaching) [6]
School Performance. As in the case of this study, it refers to the various performance indicators which served as a valid measurement of school performance, such as: 1) Enrollment rate, 2) Graduation rate, 3) Retention rate, 4) Drop-out rate, and 5) Prestigious awards. These performance indicators may accurately and reliably measure school performance. (http:/www.nap.edu>read>chapter) [7]
Enrollment Rate. Gross enrollment ration (GER) is a statistical measured used in the education sector to determine the number of students enrolled in college at different year levels.
Graduation Rate. Graduation rate represents the estimated percentage of people who will graduate from a specific level of education over their lifetime.
Retention Rate. Is the percentage of a school’s first-time, first-year undergraduate students who continue at the school the next year. For example, a student who studies full-time in the fall semester and keeps on studying in the program in the next fall semester is counted in this rate. (http://fafsa.ed.gov>help) [8]
Drop-out Rate. The percentage of students failing to complete a particular school or college course. The drop-out rate among students is currently one in three. Drop-out rate by year level is calculated by subtracting the sum of promotion rate and repetition rate from 100.
Prestigious Awards. Is something given to a person, a group of people, like a sports team, or an organization in recognition of their excellence in a certain field.
Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results (SOAR). This is a strategic planning tool that focuses on organization on its current strengths and vision of the future for developing its strategic goals. This toll differs from the commonly used SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. SOAR is a strategic planning framework with an approach that focuses on strengths and seeks to understand the whole system by including the voices of relevant stakeholders. It utilizes a “5-1 approach” in developing a strategic plan: 1) Initiate, 2) Inquire, 3) Imagine, 4) Innovate, and 5) Inspire to implement. (Capela, et al. 2017) [9]
Strength. A good or beneficial quality or attribute of a person or thing. This is the quality or state of being strong in particular. It might mean the ability to exert effort, power may imply latent or external physical, mental, or spiritual ability to act or be acted upon. (http://www.merriam-webster.com>strength) [10]
Opportunity. A set of circumstances that it makes it possible to do something, or it is a situation in which it is possible for you to do something that you want to do.
Aspiration. A hope or ambition of achieving something, or it is something that you hope to achieve.
Results. A consequence, effect, output, or outcome of something. It is the final consequence of a sequence of actions or events expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. (http://en.m.wikipedia.org>wiki>result) [11]
Student Development. According to Ridley (2012) [12], student development in higher education is the integration of academic learning programs with the larger issues of personal improvement and individual growth. It is a student centered, holistic experience focused on understanding (and demonstrating) values, nurturing skills, and moving towards knowledge.
Faculty Development. (As cited by Division of Academic Affairs in Florida State University, 2017) [13], Faculty development is a process by which school faculty work systematically to improve their skills in the following areas: 1) educational skills, 2) leadership skills, 3) skills necessary to engage in scholarly activities, 4) personal development, and 5) skills in designing and implementing a professional development plan. Faculty Development activities are successful when individuals’ goals in these five areas are being met and when simultaneously the goals of the organization are being met.
Research. Research skills refers to the ability to search for answers to questions, to construct reasoned arguments or theories based on evidence and to increase understanding in particular field of inquiry.

Outreach Program. A programme designed to help and encourage disadvantaged members of the community. According to Dewson (2006) [15], Outreach is an activity providing services to any populations who might not otherwise have access to those services. A key component of outreach is that the groups providing it are not stationary, but mobile; in other words they are meeting those in need of outreach services at the locations where those in need are. In addition to delivering services, outreach has an educational role, raising the awareness of existing services.
Curriculum Development. Is defined as planned, a purposeful, progressive and systematic process to create positive improvements in the educational system. Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general. (Alvior,2014) [16]

This research endeavors to investigate the professional maturity and work ethics of the faculty member of the Naga College Foundation. Specifically, the following problems were answered: 1. What is the Professional Maturity of the faculty members along the following elements: a. moral agency, b. cognitive ability, c. emotional resource, d. social skills, e. principles, and f. sense of meaning? 2. To what extent do the faculty members demonstrated their work ethics along the following aspects: a. attendance, b. character, c.teamwork, d. physical appearance, e. attitude, f. productivity, g. organizational skills, h. communication, i. cooperation, and j. respect? 3. Is there a significant difference among the perceptions made by the faculty members across departments on the demonstrated professional maturity and work ethics? 4. Does professional maturity affect the work ethics of the faculty members? 5. What is the implication of those findings to the human resource development of the institution?
This study was deemed important to school administrators, faculty members, parents, students, human resource department director, and the evaluation committee, and future researchers. The study sought to test the hypotheses that 1. there is a significant difference in the perceptions made by the faculty members across departments on the demonstrated professional maturity and work ethics, and 2. that professional maturity does not affect the work ethics of the faculty members.
The researcher employed the descriptive-correlational method in order to answer specific problems and interpret the results. The data were collected through questionnaire-checklist and unstructured interview which were tallied, tabulated, and interpreted through the use of the following statistical treatments: 1. weighted mean, 2. rank order, 3. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and chi-square test.
Data findings revealed the following.
On Professional Maturity.
Faculty members representing six college departments able to manifest excellency on the aspect of professional maturity dimension. The concerned faculty members who manifested excellency on the different aspects of professional maturity excelled most in exhibiting their moral agency and social behaviors.
On Work Ethics.
Faculty members were seemingly good in their work ethics for they always practiced the needed ethical behaviors in the performance of their work. They excelled most along the dimensions of attitude, respect, and teamwork.
Test of Hypothesis on the Significance of Difference along Perceptions
With various degrees of freedom from between and within columns at 5% level of significance with various values for MSS and MSS, all computed values of F-test were less than its corresponding tabular values. Hence, the null hypotheses were all accepted.
Hence, all throughout, there is no significant difference in the perceptions of faculty members across departments along the various dimensions involved for professional maturity and work ethics of faculty members understudied.
Test for the Significance of Relationship
The extent of relationship between the various indications of professional maturity versus work ethics was substantial if not high or very high. A sense of meaning versus work ethics reflects a very high relationship. Moral agency and principle versus work ethics have a high relationship. While cognitive ability, emotional resources and social skills versus work ethics have substantial relationships. hence, professional maturity may affect significantly the ethical behaviors of faculty members towards work performance.
On the implications of the Research Findings to the Human Resource Department.
The researcher comes up with the following implications: 1. the faculty members and his working conditions must have served as the locus of attention of human resource management programs. 2. Maintenance of human resources must be functional and indispensable. Through it, the employee must receive his due share of wages and salaries, rewards and sanctions, psychological motivations, wholesome, and safe working conditions. 3. Any development programs formulated must provide motivation for meeting self-realization, status, and recognition needs. Resources should be committed to the development of action-based programs and projects. 4. Prepare a development plan for faculty members to identify a. the type of development needed, b. development goals, c. the best approach for development, and d. whether development goals had been reached. 5. Feedback of performance information must be made functional and school managers should take action based on the causes for poor performance, ability, motivation or both.
With the foregoing implications, the researcher deemed it necessary to propose model for a comprehensive implementation of the strategic human resource management process for the college.
