“…10 Countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa already have such a reward system. 18 The Kenyan government pays individual scientists up to $200 (£137; €184) for each article they write that is published in an accredited journal, peer reviewed conference proceedings, or a book. Kenya has contributed 8.4% of all published scholarly work and 12.3% of all cited documents by authors in developing countries in the past 19 years.…”

“…Tasks are analyses of specific components of the work lecturers perform in universities. According to Archibong, David, Omoike, and Edet (2010), lecturers' work in Nigeria is divided into three major tasks: teaching, research and community service. Marsh and Hattie (2002) identified teaching and research as the primary employment tasks of lecturers in modern institutions with administration and community service coming in second.…”

Purpose: This study examined the effects of educational resource accessibility on lecturers' task performance in public universities in Cross River State, Nigeria. It also explored the possibility of developing instructional resources with culturally relevant information to support creative teaching methods. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a survey research method with a sample of 577 lecturers or tutors selected randomly from various departments of local public universities. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance and Fisher's least significant difference (LSD). Findings: The analysis of the data showed that lecturers' and instructors' performance in terms of teaching, research and community work is significantly impacted by the availability of educational resources. Conclusion: The effectiveness of lecturers' tasks is proportional to the calibre of instructional materials provided by their institutions. Lecturers with high levels of instructional resource availability outperformed those with moderate or low levels of resource availability. Research Limitations/Future Research: The current study was limited to the general influence of instructional materials’ availability on lecturers’ task performance. Future researchers should focus on identifying local content areas for improvement and student-lecturers’ collaboration in instructional resource design and fabrication. Practical Implications: This study may serve as the impetus for university administrators to collaborate with sociologists, anthropologists and educational technologists in order to improve student-lecturer collaboration in the creation of culturally embedded instructional materials for better task performance from lecturers and increased student engagement in learning processes. Contribution to the Literature: The findings of this study may provide literature for scholastic reviews and also become a policy -making tool for educational resource planners.

Abstract This study sought to investigate the relationship between organisation justice and teachers’ job commitment in Kwara State public primary schools, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey of correlation type. Random sampling technique was used to select 72 schools out of 1,580 public primary schools in the three senatorial districts of the state. Fifteen respondents from each sampled school making a total of 1,080 respondents for the study. The instruments used were: “Organisational Justice and “Teachers’ Job Commitment Questionnaire”. The instruments were validated by experts in the Department of Educational Management. One thousand and eighty (1,080) copies of questionnaire were administered to teachers but nine hundred and seventy two (972) copies returned. Two research questions were raised and answered; one hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. Descriptive Statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while step-wise Multiple Regression was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings were that: the level of organizational justice was found to be average; the level of teachers’ job commitment was also found to be average; distributive justice and procedural justice have negative significant relationship with teachers’ job commitment while informational justice and interactional justice have positive and significantly correlate with teachers’ job commitment. The study concluded that both the informational justice and interactional justice will enhance and improve organizational justice as well as teachers’ commitment in schools. The study recommended, among other, that the head teachers should ensure consistency in applying rules, maintain accuracy in the use information, and safeguard against bias when dealing with teachers’ issues, Also, the head teachers should involve staff members in decision making that affect them and show dignity and respect when explaining decisions outcomes to concerned teachers.
