Abstract
Leadership competencies are essential for effective governance and transformation in higher education institutions. This paper explores the applicability of global leadership competency frameworks within the context of Philippine State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), using Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) as a case study. Drawing from prior empirical data and employing a qualitative framework analysis, the study maps EVSU faculty leadership competencies against four global models: Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices, the ACRL Leadership
Competency Framework, the IAU Global Framework, and Avolio and Bass’s Transformational Leadership Theory. Results reveal strong alignment in ethical leadership, collaboration, and role modeling, highlighting faculty strengths in interpersonal and values-driven leadership. However, gaps were identified in areas such as visionary leadership, change management, and global sustainability, underscoring the need for locally grounded yet globally informed leadership development strategies. This study contributes to academic discourse by showing how global frameworks can be contextualized to strengthen faculty leadership in developing country settings. It advocates for targeted capacity-building programs that align with international benchmarks while addressing unique institutional challenges. By integrating global best practices with local realities, SUCs can better prepare faculty leaders to drive educational excellence and institutional resilience.
