Resource Management Practices Towards Sustainable Support System During Pandemic

Abstract

The Philippines is grappling to effectively finance school education resulting in serious consequences for the provision of quality education amidst the backdrop of the pandemic. In this paper, resource management practices of a public Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the Philippines were assessed through planning, budgeting, allocation, and control dimensions. Through descriptive research design, 72 out of 253 respondents were randomly chosen from administrators, teaching, and non-teaching staff to answer a validated researcher-made survey questionnaire. Findings revealed that budgeting and allocation were manifested all the time while planning and control practices were implemented most of the time. In order to actualize the resource management rationalization and improvement plan, it is recommended that the projects must have management support and implementation in terms of standardization of policies and procedure as well as the information and communication technology utilization for resource management improvement. The results suggest the value of setting funds to support and finance anticipated and unanticipated program and circumstances.
