A Mixed-Method: Evaluation and Assessment of Student Organizations Office Basis for Implementation of Project Proposal

This study evaluates the implementation of the 7S framework and Documented Information Processing (DIP) in the Office of Student Organizations at President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU) across seven campuses. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data to assess the efficiency of IT equipment, office management, and administrative processes related to student organizations. Data were gathered from 20 Supreme Student Government (SSG) Presidents through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Findings indicate that the overall implementation of 7S practices—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety, and Savings—was satisfactory, though specific areas such as "Set in Order" and "Savings" received lower satisfaction ratings in certain campuses. Similarly, the evaluation of DIP for student organization recognition, renewal, and activity approval showed high satisfaction, with most respondents acknowledging the proper documentation and processing of organizational requirements. However, gaps in IT infrastructure, office supplies, ventilation, and electricity supply emerged as key concerns affecting operational efficiency. The study underscores the need for institutional improvements, particularly in IT equipment procurement, to support student organization functions. It also highlights PRMSU’s commitment to ISO standards and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 17) by strengthening administrative processes. The findings serve as the basis for a project proposal aimed at enhancing student services and operational frameworks. Future studies may explore long-term impacts of improved IT integration on student organization performance and engagement.
