Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the whole educational system to collapse during the lockdown period. Hence, higher education institutions (HEI) led the change of learning delivery mode phases for effective and efficient academic services. This study describes the extent of manifestation on critical success factors (CSF) observed in one state university and determines the degree of organizational innovation practices in terms of technology-enhanced instructions. It also investigates the dimensions of CSFs that singly or in combination predict organizational innovations. The study purposively chose 251 faculty members from Laguna State Polytechnic University-San Pablo City, Philippines as respondents. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine significant predictors of Organizational Innovations. The findings reveal that five (5) constructs of CSFs were highly manifested (IUQDDI, ILT, IFCE, ISC & ITQ) among respondents and organizational innovations concerning technology-enhanced instructions viewed as highly practiced. Likewise, moderate to a strong association was seen between CSFs and organizational innovations. Furthermore, ISC, ILT, IUQDDI, and IFCE as the CSF construct were deemed significant predictors of organizational innovations. The results served as basis for organizations’ future planning on the effective implementation of the learning delivery mode.
