Determining the influence of research culture, competency, accountabilityon research productivity among the administrators, faculty and students in aprivate non-sectarian university was the primary aim of the study. A purposivesampling was employed to obtain the 174 participants of the study. A valid andreliable survey questionnaire was used to gather the data. A developing researchculture is evident. Likewise, the research competency is moderately developed.Accountability is rarely practiced in the conduct of research specifically inpublishing results; and, applying and utilization of funds are never practiced. A poor research productivity is evident; hence, there is a need to improve in all areas such as the number of trainings relative to research attended, researchproposed, approved, implemented, and the number of publications done bythe administrators, faculty, and students. Research culture, competency, andaccountability have a positive and highly significant relationship with researchproductivity. Meanwhile, publishing results, research skills, research capability,and research infrastructure are the best predictors of research productivity.
