Abstract
This descriptive research assessed the current operational practices of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Laguna Satellite Campuses. Specifically, it assessed the administration, instruction, research, extension, and local government unit (LGU) assistance of the University. Based from the disposition of the 112 teaching staff from the four (4) satellite campuses, the operation of PUP Laguna Satellite Campuses were generally “very satisfactory” in all the variables tested. When grouped according to the respondents’ demographic profile, there was no statistical difference in the assessment of the respondents. With these findings, the researcher recommends that the administrators should take consideration in giving cash gifts, tokens or incentives, involvements of the faculty in research and extension activities of the university, full support in funding of projects, training, seminar and students activities of the LGU are highly recommended. Further research can be conducted that will enliven the continuity and further development of the study on hand. Furthermore, similar study with larger number of population and wider locale can be considered.
Keywords: operational practices, administration, higher education, PUP
