Gabriel L Luna

 

Abstract:

Core values are anchored in the vision and mission statements of any institution to improve performance and productivity. As company culture and values become important, one challenge leaders face is integrating core values into their company’s performance management process. The research aimed to assess the University core values and competence of the faculty at Isabela State University Cauayan Campus. Using the descriptive survey, with 676 students determining the faculty core values and faculty competence, findings show that ISU Cauayan faculty are noticed by the students to have practiced core values often. Students evaluated the faculty teaching competence as Satisfactory. Female, Ilocano faculty with advanced education, longer experience, permanent in status, higher in faculty rank, and higher salaries received tended to frequently manifest core values. Older and female faculty members, with advanced education, longer experience, higher in faculty rank, and higher in salaries received tended to demonstrate a better teaching competence.
