Abstract
This study, on "The Relationship Between Job Performance and Job Satisfaction
of Lecturers of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU)" was undertaken to examine the
relationship between job performance and job satisfaction among ABU lecturers. It was
to also establish whether lecturers perform optimally in their primary assignment and
whether they derive more of intrinsic satisfaction as compared with non-intrinsic
satisfaction. These factors were identified and discussed.
This study is limited only to lecturers of Ahmadu Bello University The study
covered a period of 10 years (1989 to 1999), Assistant Lecturers and other academic
staff up to Professors were used for the study. Seven research questions and six minor
hypotheses with one major hypothesis were raised for the study.
The instrument used for gathering the data was structured questionnaires drawn
out on a four-point Likert Scale. The Instrument was validated by conducting a pilot
study in 12 Faculties of the Ahmadu Bello University. A spilt-half method of analysis was
adopted, using Spearman Rank Difference Correlation Coefficient "R". A Correlation
Coefficient of 0.81 was obtained. A reliability Coefficient of 0.89 was also obtained for
the questionnaire using the Spearman-Brown formula as Estimated Reliability. The above
results indicated that the instrument was valid and reliable.
Out of 278 sampled respondents, 220 actually responded. Seven null hypotheses
-viiiwere
formulated for testing of data collected. Sixty items were drawn on the
questionnaire. The analyses were grouped under four sections, biodata, job satisfaction,
job performance and job assessment. The statistical measurements employed in analyzing
the data were the One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient and T-test.
Three out of seven hypotheses showed that there was no significant difference in
the opinions of the respondents. The findings revealed among others things that: There
is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and job performance of lecturers of
Ahmadu Bello University. There is also a positive relationship between provision of
facilities and job satisfaction of lecturers of Ahmadu Bello University. The female
lecturers are more dissatisfied with their job than the male lecturers. The age, length of
experience and qualifications of lecturers do not have any significant effect on their job
satisfaction. The lecturers are dissatisfied with their salaries.
These results were compared with previous similar findings; some specific
recommendations for the solution were made.
