Abstract

An institution’s core is embodied in its philosophy, vision, mission, goals, objectives, and core values (PVMGOC). This study assessed students’ engagement with Misamis University’s institutional culture, specifically the students’ awareness, students’ practice, and students’ institutional engagement. There are 136 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed by the researchers. The students’ Awareness Questionnaire, Students’ Practice Questionnaire, and Students’ Institutional Engagement Questionnaire on the Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Core Values (PVMGOC) were the instruments used in the study. The statistical methods in the study were Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. The students were very highly aware of various domains. The students’ practice was a very great extent of the philosophy, vision, mission, goals, objectives, and core values, reflecting their active engagement in the institution’s effectiveness. The student’s institutional engagement in terms of frequency of participation in institutional events, Adherence to institutional policies, involvement in community initiatives, alignment with institutional ethos, and contribution to institutional culture were very highly engaged in the Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Core Values (PVMGOC). There was a significant relationship between students’ awareness and institutional engagement. The relationship between students’ practice and institutional engagement of the Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Core Values was highly significant. These highlight the importance of fostering global competencies and practical experiences in enhancing student engagement and educational outcomes within higher education institutions. Future researchers may conduct other studies that explore different factors that assess the students’ engagement with institutional values and determine how these engagements contribute to overall academic and personal growth.
