Aims: This study investigates how environmental factors influence cybersecurity adoption and research performance in a higher education institution in Western Mindanao. Study Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative research design. Place and Duration of Study: J.H. Cerilles State College, Western Mindanao, Philippines, conducted between January and March 2025. Methodology: Grounded in the TOE and UTAUT frameworks, the study used a validated survey administered to 252 faculty and staff. Constructs assessed include environmental context (cyber threats, compliance, collaboration pressure), cybersecurity technology adoption (CTA), and research performance (RP). Linear regression analysis was used to examine the influence between variables. Results: The results indicate that environmental context significantly predicts cybersecurity technology adoption (β = 0.51, p < .001, R² = 0.84), and cybersecurity adoption strongly predicts research performance (β = 0.98, p < .001, R² = 0.88). Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of aligning external compliance, threat awareness, and collaboration drivers with institutional cybersecurity strategies to improve research productivity and integrity.
