Research Highlights
- Factors affecting Perceived Effectiveness of Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) Flood Disaster Response among Filipinos in Luzon, Philippines: An Integration of Protection Motivation Theory and Extended Theory of Planned Behavior
- The study assessed the factors affecting the perceived effectiveness of flood disaster response among Filipinos during the 2020 Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) integrating the Protection Motivation Theory and the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior.
- This study is beneficial for academicians and policymakers as it provided a robust model and results for experts to use in analyzing natural disasters in order to develop optimum disaster risk responses to mitigate the severe effects of typhoon floods.
- The Influence of Organizational Commitment on the Perceived Effectiveness of Virtual Meetings by Filipino Professionals during the COVID-19 Pandemic
- The study investigated the influence of organizational commitment on the perceived effectiveness of virtual meetings by Filipino professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic through structural equation modeling.
- Public Utility Vehicle Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction in the Philippines during the COVID-19 Pandemic
- The study aimed to explore the service quality of Public Utility Vehicles (PUV) in the Philippines during the COVID-19 Pandemic utilizing the SERVQUAL dimensions.
- The findings of the study provide the Philippine government with an evaluation of the compliance of PUVs to the imposed COVID-19 protocols.
- Preference and Perceived Quality of Health Communication Icons with COVID-19 Prevention Measures
- The study analyzed the preference and subjective design features of 133 existing icons associated with COVID-19 prevention measures published by the health and medical organizations of different countries.
- Effects of Workload on Academic Performance among Working Students in an Undergraduate Engineering Program
- The study explored and analyzed the effects of workload on academic performance and the factors associated with it.
- Recommended interventions to support the physical and mental health of students to better cope with a high workload environment, which will translate to better work and academic performance.
- Effectiveness of Learning Management System Application in the Learnability of Tertiary Students in an Undergraduate Engineering Program in the Philippines
- The study aims to create a predictive model that considers variables critical to the system design of a learning management system through pedagogical approach, usability, and user-interface satisfaction aspect utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.
- Work-related Factors Affecting Sustained Alert State Among Bank Security Personnel in the Philippines
- The study is intended to investigate the correlation between all identified variables and critical factors affecting the sustained high alertness level for effective and maintained surveillance among bank security personnel for increased operational efficiency through ergonomic assessment using the binary logistic regression.
