Performance Measure and Job Constraints: Implication for Women in Academics in Nigeria Universities

Abstract

This study investigated the performance measure and job constraints of women academics in the Nigeria universities. The purpose was to examine the constraints of women academics in their job performance in the universities. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select three hundred academic women from SouthWest Universities. Data collected were analyzed and reliability coefficient by 0.87 was obtained. The questionnaire was administered on the respondents in the various institutions. Percentages were used to analyse demographic data and answer research questions, while, t-test and multiple regression were used for hypotheses at alpha level of 0.05. It was found that performance measure and job constraints among women in academic had enabled the women to look beyond their limitations and faced their world in academics with courage and passion in order to discharge their duties favorably with their men counterparts. Recommendations includes that researches done by women be less evaluated. Women achievement should be celebrated to encourage them for the major work done at home.

Performance Efficiency Measurement In The Nigerian Public Sector: The Federal Universities Dilemma

“…However, from the review of existing literature on federal universities, the following gaps exist: there is insufficient empirical evidence on the measure of the extent of performance efficiency of federal universities in Nigeria; there are difficulties of input and output measurement of universities; there is need to identify which of the federal universities are efficient and should be understudied by other universities in Nigeria; there is need to focus on management accounting issues such as performance efficiency measurement in federal universities; most of the studies done in Nigeria involve measuring performance of staff (Popoola, Oyinloye & Oginni, 2011) or a particular section of university education for example webometric ranking (Utulu, 2007).…”
