Journal Abstract

This study examined the relationship between faculty research productivity and research-related accreditation performance in the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) of Philippine Christian University (“PCU”). Using a quantitative-correlational design, data were collected from 32 full-time and part-time faculty members through a validated researcher-developed questionnaire. Faculty research productivity was assessed through publications, funded projects, conference presentations, and citations and research visibility. Findings revealed generally low faculty research productivity, with co-authorship recording the highest mean (M = 2.13), while research grant applications obtained the lowest (M = 1.34). Research-related accreditation performance was moderate, with means ranging from 2.94 to 3.16. Regression analysis revealed a weak positive but statistically non-significant relationship between research productivity and accreditation performance (β = .131, p = .474). The findings demonstrate that accreditation performance does not necessarily correspond directly with individual faculty research productivity, emphasizing the importance of institutional support, systematic research documentation, workload management, and strengthened research capacity in advancing research and quality assurance outcomes.
