Abstract Anchored on Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory, this study seeks to determine the interplay among organizational support, research capabilities, attitude and motivation of faculty researchers as basis in strengthening research intervention programs in selected State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Camarines Sur, Academic Calendar, 2023-2024. Specifically, it looks into the level of research capability in terms of conceptual, computational, technical and research-writing skills; the level of faculty’s attitude and motivation towards research; the level of organizational support along decision-making, organizational harmony, capability to ensure compliance and fiscal capability; the influence of the respondents’ attitude and motivation to their research capabilities; the impact of organizational support to the faculty research capabilities as bases for proposing an intervention program to improve the research capability of the SUC faculty. This study which employs the descriptive-correlational method of research, purposively selected the SUC associate and full professors. Data were obtained through survey questionnaire and unstructured interview and were treated statistically using weighted mean, Pearson-Product Moment Correlation of Coefficient and Coefficient of Determination. The results showed that (1) the SUC faculty are very highly capable in terms of conceptual, technical, and research-writing skills and highly capable of computational skill; (2) they possess positive attitudes and are essentially motivated to conduct research; (3) organizational support was provided to a great extent; (4) attitude and motivation both have a weak influence on the faculty’s conceptual, technical and research-writing skills and a very weak influence on their computational skills; (5) organizational support has a very weak impact on research capabilities; and (6) although data prescribed the respondents as highly capable in terms of the four areas under research capability, it also underpins the need to improve the faculty’s basic research know-how and enhance or develop their capabilities on more complex research processes specifically on technical and computational skills.
