Abstract

Extension plays a vital role in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines being one of the functions of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs). Hence, this study aimed to determine the faculty involvement and organizational support in extension of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy as input to policy redirection. It utilized the descriptive research design and used total enumeration to get the majority of the respondents. A survey questionnaire through google forms were sent through their emails or messenger. It was used to obtain data from the respondents who were available during the conduct of the study. Findings of the study revealed that the respondents were moderately involved in extension particularly as implementers, lecturers and proponents of the extension programs, projects and activities of the college. As to organizational support by the administration, the respondents were least supported in general. However, the respondents were highly supported in terms of encouragement in presenting their accomplishments during in-house review conducted by the university, provision of adequate fund for the extension programs of the college. The least support provided to respondents were the provision of ETL and communication allowance for faculty extension workers. Lack of time came out as the number one problem encountered by the respondents in conducting extension programs, projects and activities. Likewise, the respondents suggested that trainings on the preparation of project proposals for extension and incentives to faculty conducting extension must be provided as the number one solution to the problems encountered.
