Perceived Publication Pressure Among Faculty Members of MSU-Sulu

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the level of perceived publication pressure among MSU-Sulu faculty members. The study aimed to examine if the pressure to publish differed among academic ranks and disciplinary fields. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive-comparative research design. Revised Pressure Publication Questionnaire of Haven et al. (2019) was used to gather the data. The researchers employed descriptive statistical methods to obtain a comprehensive overview of the faculty members' profile and their perceived level of pressure related to publishing. The findings show most of the faculty members had an academic rank of instructor and from the college of nursing. In general, it can be observed that the faculty members exhibited a significant degree of perceived stress related to publication, while maintaining a moderate attitude towards the publication climate. Additionally, they reported minimal availability of resources to alleviate the stress associated with publication.
