Abstract : This study was determined the relationship between motivational factors and performance of graduates of the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture – Sipocot Campus (CBSUA – Sipocot) in criminology licensure examinations. This study was employed the descriptive and correlational research design. The study covered graduates from 2017 to 2019. The total number of students traced in 2017 was 34; in 2018, 35y; and in 2019, 54. The study employed a researcher-developed questionnaire. Data analysis primarily utilized descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ranking. Inferential statistics were also applied to examine the correlation between variables. The results revealed that The adequacy oflaboratories and physical facilities has motivated the students highly; however, school internet facility is one of their demotivators. Interest in the course has helped them improve their licensure performance but they are constrained by their accessto transportation. Students are motivated highly bythe schoolsupport but not by the school leadership. Financial support from their parents have helped the students the most in passing their board examination; however, they feel the lack of parental engagement in extracurricular activities. Students found correctional administration subjects as the most difficult, as compared to criminal jurisprudence and procedures subjects. Students’ performance in crime detection and investigation subjects is independent of internal factors. Students’ licensure examination performance in Criminal Jurisprudence and Procedures, Law enforcement Administration, Correctional Administration, and Criminalistics are dependent on external factors. Valuable insights and information obtained from the study can be the basesin improving the Licensure Examination performance of the Graduates of CBSUA – Sipocot.
