Performance Appraisal and Job Productivity of Academic Staff in Kwara State University, Malete
Main Article Content
Abstract
Academic staff are crucial and valuable assets in any institution, such that if they are properly managed, they contribute to the overall growth and success of the institution. Performance appraisal has proven to be an effective instrument that helps institutions improve employee productivity. This paper carried out a thorough examination of the relationship between performance appraisal and job productivity of academic staff in Kwara State University, Malete highlighting the different elements, processes, and results connected to this relationship. The study examined theories such as equity theory, Herzberg’s two-factor theory to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the link between performance appraisal and job productivity. The research utilized a cross-sectional survey design, integrating a quantitative approach. With a population of 430, a sample size of 207 employees was arrived at; using the Taro Yamane Formula (1967). Multiple Regression analysis was employed on the data collected. Findings revealed that performance appraisal through teaching (PAT); research; community engagement; and community development (r=0.755, p>0.05) significantly affect academic staff job productivity in Kwara State University. The study concluded that, performance appraisal through teaching (PAT); research; community engagement; community development, and job productivity are closely intertwined aspects of the employee experience. Institutions that prioritize effective performance appraisal systems can reap benefits in terms of increased employee engagement and overall performance. The study recommended among others that, to enhance job productivity among academics and researchers, institutions should focus on creating a supportive and nurturing environment, considering the well-being of academic staff alongside research productivity.
