Abstract

This paper attempts to assess the academic managerial competencies and faculty performance of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Manila towards the proposal of an executive training program that could help deans and chairpersons in managing their units. The study has two sets of respondents, the middle managers, which is purposively selected, and the faculty through simple random sampling technique. The analysed data show that (1) the middle managers are found to be generally competent, and (2) the managers and faculty have similar assessment on the competency level of middle managers as to the selected variables. Based on the results, the proposed executive training program has five significant areas such as: setting directions, staff development program, budget planning, physical facilities and laboratory development, and leadership and governance.
