Abstract
Abstract: This study evaluates the Theory of Planned Behavior’s ability to predict and explain academics’ research engagement behaviors using structural equation modeling. The results of a survey of 412 academics from the Philippines show that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly and positively predict intention to engage in research, and intention predicts actual research behavior. The model showed acceptable goodness of fit: SRMR = 0.5, CFI = .94, NFI = .9, RMSEA = .05. The findings provide support for the use of the Theory of Planned Behavior in understanding and predicting research-related behaviors. The results of the study have implications for university research policies and programs.
