One hundred and four (104) faculty members from the different colleges of the University responded to the study. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational research design; and the faculty member Job Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire and Individual Performance Commitment Review Form as instruments. Mean, standard deviation, and Multiple Regression Analysis were the statistical tools used. Findings revealed that the teachers were highly satisfied with their job, and their work performance was very satisfactory. The satisfaction of teachers on school heads' supervision and job security inversely affect the teachers' work performance. Schools have to be provided with the faculty lounge so teachers can talk freely on their well-being. Human Resource Department officers have to include in their faculty retention strategies the faculty members' welfare packages. Future researchers have to look into other factors that might predict the faculty members' work performance.

acceptability of the revised CSU vision and mission and the Graduate School objectives among
students and faculty. Descriptive research design was employed using a researcher-made survey
questionnaire. Results show a moderate level of the extent of dissemination and awareness of the
revised CSU vision and mission and Graduate School objectives to both faculty and studentrespondents. The finding suggests that information was disseminated properly and clearly through
brochures, bulletin boards, leaflets, manuals, posters, and meetings. In terms of degree of
acceptability, the results reveal that both faculty and student respondents accept the vision and
mission and GS objectives for “total human formation” and delivery of “quality education.”
Meanwhile, both faculty and student-respondents’ profile shows no significant difference in their
extent of dissemination and awareness and with their degree of acceptance of the revised CSU
vision and mission and GS objectives. It can be implied that they come to accept the vision and
mission regardless of their profile. Lastly, both faculty and students’ extent of dissemination and
degree of acceptability was found to have a significant difference. It can be deduced that if the
information was disseminated clearly through different sources such as posters, bulletin boards,
and the like the more they become aware by accepting the revised University’s vision and mission
and GS objectives.

graduates provides them with better job opportunities and a higher chance of
employment. With graduate studies, one will be more qualified, eligible, and
competent to face new jobs and work assignments, especially when holding
managerial positions. This study generally aimed to trace the graduates of a
State Higher Education Institution in the Philippines. Specifically, it
determined the profile of graduates, employment status, employability
characteristics, the extent of contribution and applicability of the skills
gained, assessed the graduate program offerings, and recommendations to
improve the services of the Graduate School. The study used a descriptive
research design. The study gathered data from ninety-two graduates of the
three program offerings of the Graduate School. The questionnaire was used
to gather the necessary data and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as
frequency count and percentage, mean, and rank. Based on the result,
graduates have a very high employability rate. There is a very high application
of the competencies gained by the graduates specifically on the enhanced
academic profession to their personal and professional growth; there is a very
high assessment of graduates to the graduate program they enrolled in the
College. The graduates recommended the offering of more terminal programs
and improvement of facilities to improve the services of the Graduate School.
With these conclusions, the study recommends a periodic review of the
curriculum and continuous capability building of professors to make the
programs more responsive and relevant to the needs of the students and the
standards and requirements of the industry.

It utilized mainly literature review and a qualitative inquiry technique where higher education lecturers were interviewed to ascertain the major constraints contributing to the discrepancy between research function of the university/college and the utilization of research findings. Funding, lecturers work overload, lack of trust in quality of HE research, lack of knowledge transfer settings have been identified as the major constraints'. Research reports are stored in library without dissemination and it is also observed that there are no sections reserved for research abstracts nor are research findings disseminated in usable forms in most of the universities and colleges. Findings also reveal that policy makers or other constituents do not utilize research results for public accountability and management decisions. It is therefore recommended that HE develop a strategic and balanced approach that manifest authentic professional responsibility for utilization settings for research findings in public sector, and private sectors for improvement of standards, for innovations and management decision and even at classroom level.

Apat na mga tanong sa pananaliksik ang gumabay sa pag-aaral. Upang makamit ito, ang deskriptibong sarbey at palarawan na pananaliksik disenyo ay pinagtibay. Ang pag-aaral ay nakatutok sa Calaan Buldon, Maguindanao at kinalahukan ng mga piling respondente. Isang “Two-Point Type Dichotomous Scale” uri ng questionnaire, na pinamagatang: Pasalitang Diskurso sa Kaugaliang Iranun-Katumbas sa Filipino ay ginamit upang mangolekta ng datos mula sa mga kalahok at ang pagsusuri ng resulta ay hinango batay sa mga nakalap na datos. Ipinakita ng mga natuklasan sa pananaliksik batay sa isinagawa lumabas sa pagsusuri o pag-aaral na ang implikasyon nito ay kahit naiiba man ang mga kasuotan sa kasalang Iranun dahil sa paglipas ng panahon at sa mga bagong teknolohiya ay hindi parin naiiba ang masining na pananalita o proseso ng kaugalian ng kasalang Iranun, na hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin naiiba na kung ano ang noon ay iyon parin ang nakasanayan na proseso ng pananalita tulad sa banal na Qur’an. Napatunayan sa pag-aaral na maraming komunikasyon ang bawat kaugalian ng pagpapakasal sa kasalang Iranun, at marami ang ginagampanan ng akto ng pagsasalita, maraming pasalitang diskurso ang dapat isaalang–alang ng isang lalaking Iranun na gustong mag-asawa. Napatunayan din ng mga mananaliksik sa pag-aaral na nanatili pa rin ang proseso ng kasalang Iranun tulad ng kapangdong-dong, kapanoksam, kagkawing at pangilain sa kasalang Iranun noon at ngayon.
