Abstract :
Organizational competence is essential for an organization to prosper and maintain its competitive edge over other institutions, however, there hasn`t been much research on administrators in (SUCs) in the Philippines. This study aimed to identify the level of organizational competence, leadership competence, organizational climate, and quality management practices of (SUCs) administrators in Region XII-Philippines. This study employed a quantitative research design. There were 219 administrators and 280 faculties from 5 (SUCs utilized in this study using stratified random sampling. Weighted mean was used to determine the level of organizational competence, leadership competence, organizational climate, and quality management practices. The result showed that SUC administrators exhibited a high level of organizational competence, leadership competence, organizational climate, and quality management practices. This suggested that (SUCs) administrators may sustain their best practices on organizational competence to advance their existing status.
