Abstract: ISAT U satellite campuses, particularly the Barotac Nuevo Campus, struggle to be at par with the leading universities in the Philippines especially in research productivity but the manifestations of research development can hardly be seen. It is in this premise that the researcher would like to ascertain whether the research knowledge, research competence and institutional support can affect the research productivity of the faculty members of the satellite campuses of the ISAT U System. Descriptive-quantitative-correlational research design was employed. The data gathering instrument is the questionnaire adapted from Mendoza (2008) and from the instrument of AACUP used in Accreditation. One-hundred fifty-six (156) faculty members of the ISAT U satellite campuses were the respondents. Twenty-five (25) were from ISAT U Barotac Nuevo Campus, twenty-five (25) were from ISAT U Dumangas Campus, eighty-two (82) were from ISAT U Miag-ao Campus, and twenty-four (24) were from ISAT U Leon Campus. Mode, mean and regression were the statistical tools used. Findings revealed that the faculty members had low research productivity, average research knowledge and maintained a practitioner level of research competence. They perceived the institutional support for research related activities as moderate. Significantly revealed by the findings is that for a faculty to be research productive, he should possess research knowledge, competence and institutional support. Taken individually, only research competence is the predictor of research productivity. It is recommended that a developmental plan for the enhancement of research productivity of the satellite campuses should be strictly implemented.
Keywords: research productivity, research competence, research knowledge, institutional support.
