Abstract

This descriptive research assessed the operation of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – Laguna Satellite Campuses. Specifically, it sought answers to profile the respondents using frequency and percentage distribution,  assess the operation of PUP Laguna Satellite Campuses in terms of administration, instruction, research, extension, and local government unit assistance using weighted mean, and find any significant difference in the respondents’ assessment when grouped according to their profile using Kruskal-Wallis H-Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. Findings show that the faculty’s assessment of the operation of PUP Laguna Satellite Campuses were generally interpreted as “very satisfactory” in terms of administration, instructions, research, extension, and LGU assistance. When grouped according to the respondents’ profile, it was found out that there is no enough evidence to show that there is a significant difference in the operation of PUP in Laguna Campuses with regard to the tested variables. With these findings, it was recommended that the administrators consider giving cash gifts, tokens or incentives for the involvement of the faculty in research and extension activities of the university. As the PUP is LGU funded, full support in the funding of projects, training, seminar and students activities of the local government unit is highly recommended.
