Awareness and Acceptability, Congruency and the Extent of Implementation of PUP Vision, Mission, Strategic Goals and Core Values

For a university to fulfill its mandate of delivering quality education and producing competent graduates, its vision, mission, goals, and objectives must be articulated, widely disseminated, and consistently implemented across all levels of the institution. This study aimed to determine the level of awareness and acceptability of the VMGO and the level of congruency and extent of implementation in instruction, extension, research, and production. The study employed descriptive research design using a survey questionnaire distributed to 341 internal and external stakeholders of Polytechnic University of the Philippines’ (PUP) Quezon City Campus. The study also used mean and standard deviation to generate the results of the study. The findings reported that the respondents were very highly aware and highly accepted the VMGO of the university, as well as the high level of congruency, and very well implemented VMGO in instruction, extension, research, and production. The study recommends that the campus institutionalize more aggressive dissemination strategies targeting parents, alumni, and industry partners to transform them from passive observers into active co-contributors. This also implies that PUP and its Quezon City Campus may formalize external stakeholder involvement in strategic reviews, while for practice, VMGO-congruence may be utilized as a key performance indicator (KPI) for institutional quality assurance.
