This study investigated how workforce conditions, leadership effectiveness, and
governance structures influence faculty performance in an EdPEx- accredited private
university, and proposes actionable strategies to enhance institutional quality. An
explanatory sequential mixed- methods design was applied. Quantitative data were
collected via a faculty survey ( N = 61; 94% response rate) and analyzed using JAMOVI
( regression, ANOVA, chi-square) , followed by semi-structured interviews with purposively
selected informants ( n = 5) analyzed thematically in NVivo. The results indicate strong
institutional strengths in ethical leadership (M = 4.5/5) and financial governance (M = 4.7/5),
alongside critical gaps in technological resources (M = 2.9/5) and work–life balance support
( M = 2.7/5). Inclusive policies were significantly associated with innovation ( X2
= 12.4,
p < .001) , while performance metrics showed no meaningful relationship with retention
(r =
.18). Overall, the findings suggest that EdPEx provides a robust quality framework, but
effective implementation depends on targeted, faculty- centered interventions.
Accordingly, a phased action plan is proposed, emphasizing technology enhancement,
tiered faculty development, and increased governance transparency to strengthen faculty
performance and institutional excellence.
