THE PERCEIVE IMPACT OF MOTIVATION ON LECTURERS’ PERFORMANCE IN AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
For continuous survival of a University, its work force must have to be under examination from time to time. This is because it is one of the major determinants of achieving goals. The study basically evaluates the perception of academic staff in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, with a view to determining whether motivation offers by the University has impact on their performance or not, and also establishing whether factors that are rely upon to motivate really do so or not. Primary data were collected through questionnaire administration. The techniques employed for analysis were simple percentage and Chi square. Based on the data analysis and hypothesis testing, the results of the study provide evidence for the failure to reject the two null hypotheses formulated. The study therefore concludes that motivational factors and motivation offer by the University management have no significant relevance and effect on the performance of the academic staff. We recommend that the University management should strive hard to ensure that they provide more motivations to the staff due to multiplier effect that it has on the continuous existence, qualitative teaching, and researches that formed the basis of establishing the University. This could be attainable by issuing questionnaires to the academic staff asking them specifically to state what they believe would motivate them, and then compared with the motivational factors use by other international standard Universities, and then come up with the hybrid that would produce substantial impact.
