The researcher made pretest-posttest was used to gather the data of the randomly selected Freshmen students coming from 12 sections. The result shows that the mean pre-test scores of the experimental and control group is “good”. There is a significant difference between the pre-test mean scores of the control and experimental group. Compared with the control group, the experimental group got higher post-test scores than their pre-test scores in all the areas. There is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the control group in the nature of economics, factors of production, demand and supply, price determination, elasticity, cost of production, philippine financial system and economic development.

It was conducted from October 2019 to February 2020. The study used quantitative, non-experimental research design using correlational technique and path analysis. The 250 employees among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) were determined using the stratified sampling procedure. Mean, Pearson r, and path analysis were used as statistical tools. Moreover, adapted survey questionnaires were used. The result shows that the levels of transformational leadership, organizational health, total quality management, and organizational effectiveness of higher education institutions were high. Further, when each independent variable is correlated to organizational effectiveness, results show that transformational leadership was significantly correlated with organizational effectiveness. There was also a significant relationship between organizational health and organizational effectiveness as well as between total quality management and organizational effectiveness. Model 3 came out as the best fit model that predicts organizational effectiveness. The model showed that transformational leadership and total quality management predicts organizational effectiveness among higher education institutions.
