This study investigated the relationship between employee awareness, organizational response in terms of dissemination and utilization, and policy effectiveness of circular memoranda. A sample of 218 faculty and staff from the three campuses within Liceo de Cagayan University participated in the study. The research instrument employed in this study was a comprehensive questionnaire comprising eighty-five (85) items. Descriptive correlational and causal research designs were used in the study. Moreover, data were collected through face-to-face surveys. Inferential statistics such as Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression were used to answer inferential questions. Analysis exposed significant correlations between employee awareness and organizational response factors with policy effectiveness, indicating that clear dissemination and practical utilization were essential for achieving desired policy outcomes. These findings highlighted the need for government agencies to enhance awareness and support mechanisms, ensuring policies were understood and applied effectively by employees.
