Palma, Eva Joy
Many non-permanent faculty members in State Universities and Colleges have no security of tenure and can be separated from service anytime and yet they stay in their job for years. This study aimed to look at their level of commitment to the organization and their behavior to do the extra mile, particularly on whether their organizational, job and personal factors are associated with their organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior and whether their perceived level of organizational support would strengthen their commitment and citizenship behavior. Finally, it aimed to analyze and define the behavioral model of these non-permanent faculty members. A positivist view utilizing a cross-sectional research design was used. Survey, and key informant interview were conducted in four state universities and colleges in Iloilo with non-permanent faculty members as respondents. Results show that there is moderate level of organizational, job, and personal factors, perceived level of organizational support, high level of organizational commitment and high level of organizational citizenship behavior among non-permanent faculty members in the four schools. No significant variations in the level of these variables by schools. Significant relationship exist between the factors and perceived level of organizational support, factors and organizational commitment and factors and organizational citizenship behavior, however, perceived level of organizational support does not mediate in the relationship between factors and organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior.

Mistio, Nelly E.
This is a descriptive-relational study which utilized one-shot survey design using a researcher-made questionnaire. This study covered administrators, faculty and staff members of the main campuses of eight (8) State Universities and Colleges in Western Visayas region who were occupying permanent positions. The study samples consisting of 598 were drawn using stratified random sampling, proportionate to size. Three sets of questionnaires were administered to the respondents according to their designation.
This study aimed to assess the extent of ICT utilization in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs); specifically, to determine the respondents’ personal characteristics; their adequacy of ICT training, ICT competence and frequency of ICT access; their perceived adequacy of ICT infrastructure, availability of ICT human resource, adequacy of ICT financing and availability of ICT planning and monitoring; their perceived usefulness of, perceived ease of use of and attitude towards ICT; their intention to use ICT, and their extent of ICT utilization and the correlation of each variable.
The findings of the study revealed that the dominant users of ICT were female and above 40 years of age, married and master’s degree holders. More of them were working in a university and in Level II to III accredited SUCs. The majority of the respondents had adequate ICT training, high ICT competence, and had frequently accessed the ICT hardware, peripherals, and Internet. The ICT infrastructure among SUCs was perceived by the respondents as inadequate. There were ICT personnel responsible for planning, implementation, and monitoring of ICT projects/initiatives but limited in number. ICT financing was also perceived as adequate and ICT plans were available, implemented, and monitored. Moreover, the majority of the respondents perceived ICT as easy to use and useful in their work. They had a favorable attitude towards ICT and a strong intention to use it. Finally, the administrators, faculty members, and staff had been utilizing ICT to a great extent.
Significant relationships were found, at 5 percent level, between the type of school, SUC accreditation level, ICT training, ICT competence, frequency of ICT access, availability of ICT plan, and perceived ease of use of ICT; between SUC accreditation level, type of school, ICT competence, frequency of ICT access, ICT training, availability of ICT plan and perceived usefulness of ICT; between the type of school, SUC accreditation level, ICT training, ICT infrastructure, availability of ICT plan, perceived usefulness of ICT and attitude towards ICT. Moreover, significant relationships were also found between the civil status, frequency of ICT access, ICT financing, availability of ICT plan, perceived ease of use of ICT, and intention to use ICT; between educational attainment, ICT training, availability of ICT plan, attitude towards ICT, ICT competence and extent of ICT utilization. The other tests of relationships between variables were found to be not significant.
The identified facilitators of ICT utilization in this study were ICT competence and favorable attitudes towards ICT while the barriers were ICT training and availability of ICT plan.

Teodosio, April Dream R.
A descriptive documentary analysis and survey research was done to assess the extent of compliance with the standard budget process, budget performance, and program performance of LGUs in the province of Iloilo excluding Passi City and Iloilo City. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire. Secondary data were provided by the province of Iloilo. The statistical tools used were the means, frequency, percentage, Gamma coefficient and Chi-square test. Hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance.
The findings showed that the mean population of the LGUs as 35,451 with a mean land area of 10,506. Majority of the LGUs were 4 class by income classification and the highest proportion of them had less than 29 barangays. Most of the LGUs were close to the city with a distance of 30 km or less. The Local Chief Executives were predominantly males, 54.02 years on the average, and mostly college degree holders. They had served the government for an average of 16.7 years. The LGUs compliance with the standard budget process was high for budget execution, budget authorization and budget accountability but moderate for budget preparation and budget authorization. There was no significant relationship between the LGU characteristics and the LGU budget performance but there was significant relationship between land area and LGU violations.
There was no significant correlation between budget performance and the standard budget processes and also between project performance and LGUs compliance with budget processes. However, there was significant correlation between violation and LGUs compliance with budget preparation but not among the other components of the budget process. Only land area was a significant predictor of LGUs extent of compliance with the budget process and procedural performance.
From the findings the researcher concluded that the LGUs had moderate compliance with the standard budget process They seemingly complied with the standard budget process but violated some of the provisions along the way. The most common violation is delay in the remittance of daily collections and bank deposits. The non-significant relationship of the LGUs characteristics to their compliance to standard budget management processes indicate that there are other factors which determine the degree of compliance to these processes. These factors are also neither the LCEs characteristics, since these did not also significantly influence the LGUs compliance to the standard budget processes. Land area was found to significantly influence extent of compliance to budget preparation and violation of the LGUs. This is probably because, land area is a factor in determining the IRA of a municipality. Violation was only significantly correlated to budget preparation and not to other budget processes. Compliance to budget process and procedural performance could only be predicted by land area but not by either of the selected features of the LGUs nor the characteristics of the LCEs.
The researcher recommends that agencies or people having responsibility over the LGUs should find means to encourage the LCEs to keep up their commendable practice to this effect. The LCEs themselves or the agencies having responsibility over the LGUs could institute appropriate training programs not only to increase the awareness of LCEs concerning the importance of compliance with budget preparation, but also to raise the level of competence and skills of municipal personnel to carry out expertly the activities involved in this task. Likewise, these agencies could also institute means to motivate the LCEs to comply with this phase of the budget process. It is also recommended that the agencies mandated to oversee LGU affairs could implement an awareness campaign among the LCEs and people assigned to do budget review. They should be made to understand that these people referred to are merely performing their essential functions, and the LCEs should appreciate the efforts of these in doing a good job of budget review. It is further recommended that the constitutional body and the oversight agencies should carry out a strong sustainable awareness campaign to discourage the violators from doing their unwanted practices.
Finally the researcher believes that there must be other factors that influence the LGUs’ compliance, so that further research should be carried out to identify these factors. In this connection, the researcher recommends that future studies should be conducted concerning this matter.
