Abstract:
A university's research culture involves the active engagement of the academic community in the different aspects of the research ecosystem that requires an attitude of thinking-and-doing research, a work ethic of persistence, patience, and walking-the-extra mile. This study aimed to determine the impact of organizational effectiveness and research engagement of students on promoting a research culture. It also identified policy enhancement measures in pursuit of research excellence. Using descriptive-correlation research design, 60 undergraduate students participated in the research activity which indicates that both research activity and organizational effectiveness contribute to the development of a research culture by its motivational impact on energizing the creative and innovative talents of the students. For an effective mechanism in the research ecosystem, policy enhancement measures were proposed to address performativity, intensification, and income generation for sustainable support to research engagement.
