Abstract
Research is one of the major functions in a university that should be nurtured and fostered in order to
advance quality education. The capability of an instructor to conduct research is expedient in addressing
the pressing issues in the society starting with the classroom. This study assessed the research capability of
faculty members at Cebu Technological University (CTU) – Moalboal Campus anchoring Bandura’s Self
Efficacy Theory. The works of literature dictate that there’s no study about research capability of college
instructors initiated in Visayas, Philippines where Cebu is one of the provinces. This prompted the
researchers to elicit pertinent information about the demographic profile of the instructors and their research
capability (2.89) through a validated researcher-made instrument. All faculty members (69) participated the
study. Utilizing descriptive-correlation research design, the researchers established significant relationship
of the dependent and independent variables through Pearson-correlation coefficient. The results derived
that age (0.13), gender (0.56), and number of papers completed but were not published (0.59) were not
significant at 0.05 significant level. Number of years in service (0.04), number of years in conducting
research (0.00), number of papers published (0.00), and number of local and international conferences
attended (0.02) were significant. The findings of the study ensued a creation of research management plan
that provides mechanisms on how to address the concerns and challenges of respondents in conducting
research. In this way, college instructors are assisted and guided in completing and publishing their research
article, thus, improving the research culture of the university.
