Abstract: This study is about the knowledge, skills, motivation, and facilitating condition on faculty intention to conduct research. Respondents were faculty from the different schools of the identified University in Manila, a total of 94 respondents. The knowledge and skills of the faculty were gauged based on seven areas namely: critical review of literature (CRL), conceptualization of research framework (CRF), framing research question (FRQ), developing research instrument (DRI), data collection, analysis, and presentation (DCAP), documentation and mechanics of styles (DMS), and utilization of the research output (URO).
Motivation was measured through intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Included in the intrinsic factors were enjoyment, inherent satisfaction, autonomy, interest, and competence. Extrinsic factors included career and financial motivation. Significant findings revealed that majority of the respondents were very knowledgeable in the areas of CRL and CRF. In the motivation intrinsic factors such as enjoyment, inherent satisfaction, and competence were rated highly motivated, while interest and autonomy were rated motivated. Extrinsic factors such as career and financial motivation were both rated motivated, but the financial factor was considered higher than career. Moreover, knowledge and skills varied with respect to the research areas and across schools. Meanwhile no significant difference between intrinsic and extrinsic factors of motivation was revealed. Statistics showed that knowledge, skills, and motivation were correlates of the intent to conduct research of the faculty. Funding, creation of coordinator, seminars/training in research, and resources were among the most significant facilitating condition that affect the faculty’s intent to conduct research.
Keywords: Knowledge and skills in research, motivation of faculty in research, facilitating condition in research, areas of research.
