Enhancement of Professional Development Program toward Proposed Competency Program

Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03

Abstract

The Philippine Army (PA) follows a structured career path in which Officers must complete prerequisite career courses before assuming a command position. However, the current Professional Development Program (PDP) does not have Staff pre- designation courses that lead to underperformance. This study proposed an enhancement to the PDP toward a competency program parallel to the competency requirements of officers ranking Major and Lieutenant Colonel. The level of affectation of the independent, dependent, and moderating variables on PDP and competency development were examined. The researcher employed mixed method research and utilized thematic and content analysis, Warp Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model, confirmatory analysis, and moderating analysis. The result suggests that institutional support affects PDP, and competency development is affected by prior schooling, pre-designation program, and experience. Thus, self-development and institutional support influence PDP effectiveness, and PDP plays a significant role in competence development. This study will be a good basis and reference in the revision of the Standard Operating Procedure 19 PA Officer and Enlisted Personnel Career Path and Philippine Army Manual 8 – 00 Education & Training.
