Abstract

The study aimed to provide answers to the questions about the level of awareness, understanding, and acceptance among internal and external stakeholders of CatSU's mandate, vision, mission, goal, core values, and the CEA’s goals and objectives, and the significant difference in the level of awareness, understanding, and acceptance of CatSU's mandate, vision, mission, goal, core values, and the goals and objectives of the College of Engineering and Architecture among internal and external stakeholders. A quantitative-descriptive research design was employed in this study. Respondents in the study are stakeholders, who are divided into internal and external stakeholders. Slovin's algorithm was used to select 334 target samples from a population of 15,000 for this study. The study used a 4-point Likert scale to help participants understand the quantitative data. It is concluded that both internal and external stakeholders understand the CatSU's mandate, vision, mission goals, and core values and accept the CEA's goals and objectives. Overall, there is a significant gap in understanding and acceptance of the CatSU's mandate, vision, mission goals, and core values among internal and external stakeholders. There is also a significant difference in terms of awareness and comprehension of the CEA's goals and objectives. It is recommended that the CSU's mandate, vision, mission, goal, and core values, as well as the COE's goals and objectives, be made more public. Initiatives or factors that contributed to the high level of awareness, comprehension, and acceptance of the CSU's VMGO and the COE's goals and objectives should be strengthened.
