Abstract

The descriptive design with a questionnaire was used in this study to determine the research capability of the University as perceived by the faculty members and administrators regarding research support facilities and research activities. This study further identified the problems encountered by the respondents in formulating the research agenda, supporting research activities, and carrying out research activities by the University.

The researchers concluded that the perceptions of the faculty members and the administrators on the research capability regarding support facilities and conduct of research activities were of moderate extent and moderately agreed, respectively. The faculty members and the administrators indicated the problems related to research as a "Moderately Felt Problem" (MoFP).
