The role of research in an academic institution is significant for its sustainability and development, and it is imperative to have knowledge-driven growth based on innovation. The main objective of this dissertation was to find out the factors associated with research and productivity among faculty of higher education institutions in the LSPU System as input to enhancing research culture. Descriptive correlational research method was used to determine the factors associated with research and productivity among higher education faculty institutions consisting of 232 regular faculty mem-bers among four campuses of Laguna State Polytechnic University- San Pablo City Campus, Sta. Cruz Campus, Siniloan Campus and Los Banos Campus. The perceived level of self-motivation of the re-spondents on knowledge and skills, ability and interest, motivation and drive is “very high”; the perceived level of institutional support system for research among faculty of Laguna State Polytechnic University System on policies and guidelines, promotion and incentives, research program, budgeting, and external sourcing/funding is “highly evident”; perceived level of research- working environment, is “very highly evident”; perceived level of research productivity for research reveals that the research productivity is “very high”. Faculty’s research productivity is significantly predicted by self-motivation, an institutional support system for research; and the re-search working environment; teacher’s perceived self-motivation mediated with the institutional support system and the faculty’s research productivity; teacher’s perceived self-motivation mediated with the research working environment and to the faculty’s research productivity. ANOVA result revealed that there is no significant difference in the perceptions of the LSPU respondents on self-motivation, an institutional support system for research, research working environment, and research productivity when grouped according to their University Campus. In terms of the above findings, this study concluded the hypotheses stating that the research productivity of the faculty is not significantly predicted by self-motivation, an institutional support system for research, and the research working environment is not sustained. The faculty self-moti-vation does not mediate the effect of the institutional support system and research working environment on their research productivity is not sustained. There is no significant difference in the perceptions of the LSPU respondents on self-motivation, an institutional support system for research, research working environment, and research productivity.
