The study investigated the relationship between workload and lecturers' job satisfaction in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State. The descriptive research design of the survey type was employed. The sample of the study was 105 lecturers selected using multi-stage sampling technique across three faculties. Two research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A researcher-made questionnaire titled "Workload and Lecturers' Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (WLJSQ)" was used to elicit information from the respondents. The instrument was validated by experts in Test and Measurement and the test re-test method was used for test reliability which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.72. The findings of this study revealed: lecturers found conducting research, processing of results, marking of examination scripts and supervision of undergraduate projects most demanding and that lecturers' job satisfaction was low in relations with the workload. Also, there is a significant relationship between marking of examination scripts and lecturers' job satisfaction, supervision of research work and lecturers' job satisfaction and there is a significant relationship between number of courses allocated and lecturers' job satisfaction. It is hereby recommended that more lecturers should be recruited particularly in faculties with high student population in order to reduce excessive workload, while the number of students to be allocated to lecturers for project supervision should be reduced and the services of assistant lecturers should be employed to assist in the area of marking of scripts and supervision of undergraduate projects.

“…In fact, without staff, post-graduate programmes will not only be non-effective but there will also be no post-graduate programmes at all. Although the mere presence of staff is not enough to make post-graduate programmes effective, they must be properly placed, assigned tasks, guided accordingly, given the appropriate working conditions, motivated, supervised strictly and evaluated consistently to ensure they work in line with goals and objectives of the programmes [21][22]. All these series of activities are what constitute staff management, and proper/consistent delivery of such administrative duties will promote the effective prospect of post-graduate programmes in Cross River State and beyond.…”

This study linked strategic planning and staff management relatively and cumulatively to the effectiveness of post-graduate programmes at two public Nigerian universities. The study was directed by the formulation and testing of three null hypotheses. The entire population of 157 administrators (including 24 deans and 133 HODs) participated in a survey, where a questionnaire was used to elicit responses. The questionnaire was designed by the researcher but validated by five experts. The reliability for internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha, with acceptable indices. Data obtained were analysed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses. In a bivariate sense, both strategic planning and staff management significantly correlated with the effectiveness of post-graduate programmes respectively. Cumulatively, the two predictors are responsible for explaining 57% of the variation in the effectiveness of post-graduate programmes, with the remaining 43% of the unexplained variance attributable to other extraneous variables. The composite contribution of the two predictors was verified to be statistically significant. Staff management was the strongest predictor ahead of strategic planning. It was recommended, among other things, that the coordinator of post-graduate programmes should ensure that plans are made concerning the procurement and maintenance of facilities that will be required for the smooth running of the programmes in graduate schools.

“…An interesting connection between human relationships (interpersonal partnerships, teacher involvement, and mandate delegation) and teacher work in secondary schools was revealed in recent research (Arop et al, 2019). Other research has also shown a significant relationship between human capital management and employee happiness in higher education (Etor, 2014). However, none of the cited studies assessed the management of human resources in connection with the fulfilment of school goals at the secondary education level.…”

This research examined the management of financial and non-financial resources by Calabar Metropolis’ public secondary school principals in relation to the fulfillment of institutional goals. Null hypotheses were developed based on the two specific objectives guiding the study. The study used the ex-post facto research design under the quantitative research framework. A census approach was adopted in enumerating all the 69 school managers (24 principals and 45 vice principals) in Calabar Metropolis, Nigeria. A validated questionnaire, with a reliability index of .90, was used for data collection. It was shown that there is a considerable association between the management of financial resources by school leaders and the fulfillment of institutional goals. A significant relationship was also established between principals’ management of non-financial resources (such as school libraries, school records and human resources) and the fulfillment of institutional goals in secondary schools. It is argued that to fulfil educational goals, financial and non-financial resources’ management in public secondary schools are critical. Policy and theoretical implications for successful educational management were discussed in light of this result.
