Pangasinan State University Stakeholders’ Awareness, Acceptance and Perception towards the Institutional Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives as Basis for Sustainability

Abstract

This study assessed the level of awareness, acceptance, and perception of stakeholders at Pangasinan State University (PSU) Asingan Campus toward its Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) as a basis for institutional sustainability. Data were gathered from 365 stakeholders, including students, faculty, non-teaching staff, alumni, parents/guardians, and government agency partners using a descriptive survey method. Due to pandemic-related constraints, a modified and validated instrument was administered via Google Forms. Data analysis through SPSS revealed that most stakeholders were aware of the VMGO, with mean ratings falling within the "aware" to "highly aware" range. Acceptance levels were similarly high, with stakeholders expressing agreement and strong agreement toward the clarity, consistency, and relevance of the VMGO to institutional mandates and student outcomes. Notably, dissemination practices, such as posting VMGO on bulletin boards and online platforms, were generally effective but identified as areas needing enhancement. The study concludes that stakeholders are generally aware, accepting, and positively perceive the VMGO. Recommendations include strengthening dissemination strategies through broader media engagement and ensuring continuous stakeholder involvement in sustaining and internalizing the university’s vision and mission.
