Abstract

This paper attempts to identify the necessary pillars that have significant contribution to the formation of a research culture in the academe. By using the Principal Component Analysis, the five university research pillars identified in this study were reduced into three (3) dimensions. These are the research and institutional leadership, stakeholder valuing of university research, and faculty characteristics and curriculum. The results revealed that if these three dimensions are available in a university, a research culture can be developed or formed resulting to an increase of research productivity.
