Summary : The study was conducted to measure the college faculty members' teaching effectiveness, research productivity, and extension performance, to identify the factors that are related with these, and to assess their interrelationships. The data were gathered by means of self-administered questionaires using 111 college faculty members and 2,638 students in the seven state universities and colloeges in Region VI, the Philippines, as respondents. The majority of the faculty respondents were female, married, and middle-aged with a mean age of 40.4 years. Most of them were bachelor's degree holders, had permanent appoinment status, and were occupying the rank of Instructor. They most belongedd to the arts and humanities discipline. Moreover, most of the faculty respondents have been in the teaching profession ever since they were employed. They have been teaching on the secondary level prior to teaching at the collegiate level. The faculty respondents had a mean instructional work load of 17.99 hours a week. On the average, they were handling 9.6 units per semester with a class size of about 30 students. In general, the faculty respondents were not highly satisfied with their careers. They perceived the work environment and organizational climate in their institutions only as average in quality. The students perceived their teachers as having a good personality (friendly and responsive), and were highly effective teachers. The faculty respondents were, however, to be low in research productivity and extension performance based on their research and extension outputs. In terms of the relationship of the variables, the study revealed that teaching effectiveness was positively related with personality, research productivity to educational attainment and extension performance to personality, education attainment, and academic discipline. Furthermore, it was found that only research productivity and extension performance were positively correlated.
