Professional Competence and Management Performance of State Universities and Colleges Administrators in MiMaRoPa

Abstract

Goals in education are achieved with the crucial involvement and significant responsibility carried by the administrators. This study which utilized descriptive-correlational comparative methods investigates the Professional Competence (Interpersonal Relationships, Intrapersonal Relationships, Communication Skills, Time Management, and Decision Making) and extent of Management Performance (Improvement of School Plant, Supplies, and Equipment, Auxiliary Services, Public Relations, Staff Development, Research and Development, Extension Services, and Production Activities) of administrators in Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan (MIMAROPA) Region State Universities and Colleges. The G-Power Analysis was employed to determine the total sample size for respondents, including 47 administrators (Vice Presidents, Directors, Deans, and Campus Directors), and 279 faculty members, which were determined by stratified random sampling. The questionnaires’ reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha and answered by the respondents through Google Forms. Results indicated that administrators' professional competencies received ratings ranging from very competent to highly competent. Similarly, the management performance of the administrators was rated as very evident. Generally, the ratings of administrators and faculty showed negative skewness and platykurtic distributions, indicative of consistently high ratings with minimal outliers. The Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant differences in the ratings between administrators and faculty, except for their performance in production activities. Pearson's Chi-Square analysis revealed that there is a positive association between professional competence and management performance. It is recommended that administrators continue to focus on developing their professional competencies to enhance their management performance. The administrators are encouraged to consider the proposed management strategies derived from the study.
