The impact of productivity is not only governed by a single factor affecting the performance in every endeavour. Thus, performance measures constitute subjective critical analysis by which this research study utilized descriptive analysis converted into quantifiable formulations for SPSS particularly the regression analysis. Descriptive analysis was used for identifying research motivators that significantly influence research productivity in the university. To suit with an appropriate statistical evaluation and validate research result, the regression analysis was used in order to test the probability of the null hypothesis generated based on the result of the study. Since research motivators also comprises the research culture, the proponent also intended to inquire reasons for underperformance in research productivity anent researcher's actual experience in the conduct of the research work.

A descriptive survey questionnaire was validated utilizing Cronbach's Alpha of.871. The result of the study showed that the personal-related or intrinsic motivation variables with an average mean of 4.32 is motivating to the researcher. The institutional-related or extrinsic motivation variables however, with a mean average of 2.70 were rated slightly motivating on the part of the researcher.

However, ran through linear regression analysis, the study resulted that the independent variables do not have significant effect to the dependent variables. This means that whatever the number of accomplishments be made, it do not affect the productivity performance of the faculty members in the university. Thus, the hypothesis of the study is partially sustained.
