Abstract:
The study “Impact of an Unclear Policy on Promotions to the Perception of Productivity of the Non-Teaching Staff of Public TESDA Training Institutions: The Lupon School of Fisheries Perspective” assumes the task of describing the career path of the non-teaching personnel of Lupon School of Fisheries and the personnel’s perception of productivity given the status quo of their system of promotion. The study uses the descriptive method of research to measure the impact and the perception of the non-teaching staff with regards promotion and productivity of work. Questionnaires as well as personnel records from the Administrative Division are used to gather required data.
The results were that majority of the non-teaching staff believe that they are productive and still faithful to fulfill their commitments. Given the uncertainty of their promotions compared to the teaching position which has a clear-cut policy on promotions via the NBC 461, majority of the support staff still report to work and fulfill their commitments on time. Moreover, a majority of the LSF non-teaching personnel believe that productivity in the workplace is a function of promotions and rewards so that promotion is a motivating factor for a more productive workplace, and that they would be more enthusiastic and happy in performing their duties with a clear-cut policy on promotions.
The findings of the study reveal that the non-teaching staffs’ promotions happen only when some personnel retire and resign creating a natural vacancy in the Organizational Structure. Based on the findings, it is prudent that a continuing program on the career advancement and development of the non-teaching staff be given serious consideration not only by each TTIs top management but the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority at large.
