This document summarizes a study that investigated the relationship between delegation of authority and staff commitment at the School of Finance and Banking in Kigali, Rwanda. A survey of 78 staff members found a weak but significant positive correlation between the two variables. This implies that higher levels of delegated authority are linked to increased levels of staff commitment. The study aimed to address gaps in understanding the factors influencing previously reported low levels of commitment among staff at the school.
Abstract
- Institutions of higher learning face a new situation on
higher education. It holds some novel threats and presents some
fresh opportunities. Given the uncertainty of the future, collage
and university administrators cannot allow their organizations to
drift. This study assessed the managerial skills development of the
administrators of the five (5) well-established private institutions
of higher learning in Batangas, Philippines. A combination of
descriptive-purposive research design and survey method was used to
determine the managerial dimensions exhibited by the administrators.
Mean, Likert Scale, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson Product
Moment Correlation Coefficient and and Bivariate Correlation were
used. There is no significant difference in the assessment of the three
groups of respondents in terms of communication skills and solving
problems effectively. However, there is a significant difference in terms
of self leadership, managing the task effectively, managing the people
effectively, and managing interpersonal relations effectively.
There is
a very high significant relationship among all the managerial skills
dimensions required of the institution administrators using the same
managerial dimensions. The managerial skills of the administrators
have to be enhanced to improve the quality of people in the institution.
The Proposed Executive Development Program and Training Model
are strongly recommended.
Motivation is the vital tool that can enhance effectiveness and aid good performance. Individual job performance and behaviour depend greatly on motivational factors. A number of studies have been done in the area of motivation for teachers and its benefits towards better performance for the students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of motivation on teachers’ effectiveness in Ilorin West Local Government Area, Kwara State. Adopted research design for this study was the descriptive survey method. The respondents comprises of 150 teachers which were simple randomly selected from 10 schools in Ilorin West. The instrument that was used for collecting data for this study was adopted from Ayuba (2017) titled Motivation and Teachers’ Effectiveness Questionnaire (MTEQ). Frequency count, percentage and mean score were used to answer research questions while Pearson Product Moment Coefficient (PPMC) and t-test were employed to test the research hypothesis. Findings revealed that teachers’ effectiveness is low and there was no significant influence of motivation on teachers’ effectiveness.
Organisations both in the private and public sector across the globe rely on their workforce for optimum productivity which will in turn result to organisational efficiency. In this case, the need for ensuring employee job satisfaction becomes a matter of necessity to every organisation. Though, studies have been conducted by various researchers and scholars in this area, there is however the need to conduct more studies on job satisfaction and performance of an employee since the employees are believed to be an indispensable part of an organisation. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and performance of non-academic staff of Bauchi State University Gadau Nigeria (BASUG). Dissatisfaction is believed to be one of the major factors that demotivates and demoralise employee in the workplace which can result to lower productivity thereby affecting the overall performance of the organisation. Consequently an aggregate of two hundred and seventy questionnaires were distributed non- academic staff of BASUG based on systematic random sampling and data collected is analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The outcome of the analysis depicts that there is positive and significant relationship between job satisfactions on the performance of non- academic staff of the University. The study will serve as a policy guide to the management of the Nigerian Universities in areas relating to employee performance improvement through job satisfaction and it will also further make an impetus the field of organisational behaviour and human resource management

This article focuses on the management practices of public secondary school principals as perceived by school managers and secondary school teachers to improve teacher excellence and students' performance for the attainment of quality education.
The study investigated the differences in leadership styles exhibited by principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana in relation to their sex, age, years of work experience, and academic qualification. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. The target population was made up of all 46 principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana. The target population consisted of all 38 public Colleges of Education which were in existence before the absorption of eight private Colleges of Education by the government of Ghana into public system. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 38 principals for the study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire developed by Bass and Avolio (2004) was adapted to collect data. Means, standard deviations, t-test and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in the leadership styles of the principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana based on their sex, age, and academic qualification. However, there were statistically significant differences in the leadership styles adopted by the principals in relation to their years of work experience. It was therefore concluded that many years of experience of principals of public CoEs in Ghana is critical for good leadership in these colleges. Among the recommendations was that the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) should consider years of work experience in the selection and appointment of principals for public Colleges of Education in Ghana. Additionally, in-service training and refresher courses should be organized regularly by NCTE for principals on the leadership styles suitable for achievement of objectives and goals of their colleges.

Influence of Dictatorial and Charismatic Leadership Style of Librarians on Pr...Premier Publishers
This study examined the influence of dictatorial and charismatic leadership styles of librarians on the productivity of staff in academic libraries in Imo State, Nigeria. A survey was conducted using questionnaires distributed to 294 staff across four academic libraries, with 286 responses analyzed. The findings showed that a dictatorial leadership style, where the leader makes all decisions without input from staff, does not promote involvement of subordinates in planning and can limit creativity. However, a charismatic leadership style where the leader communicates a clear vision and is committed to goals can boost staff productivity, especially during times of crisis or stress, by motivating staff. The study recommended training for librarians on modern leadership approaches to help them adopt styles that enhance staff

Emotional Intelligence And Locus Of Control As Predictors Of Teachers’ Instru...ResearchWap
Recently, the reports of poor academic achievement of students especially in secondary schools have raised more attention and greater concerns among stakeholders in Nigerian education. Academic achievement or academic performance is the outcome of education, that is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals (Ward, Stoker, & Murray-Ward, 2000). Academic achievement is commonly measured by continuous assessment or examination but there is no general agreement on how it is best tested or which aspects are most important, whether procedural knowledge such as skills or declarative knowledge such as facts (Stumm, Hell, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2011). Irrespective of the method of academic measurement, Isangedighi (1999) observed that indiscipline, drug addiction, poor socio-economic background of the parents, inadequate motivation on the part of students, lack of information coupled with teachers’ nonchalant attitude to work and students’ negative self-concept have often resulted into students’ inconsistent and poor academic performances. Yoloye (1999) submitted that theories of educational disadvantages and social-cultural pathology have been most prominent in the explanation of poor academic achievement of students in schools. On the contrary, a growing number of scholars, have rejected this latter view and have suggested that many of the problems of learning are the artefacts of discontinuities which are brought about by the separation of learning from real-life functions and situations (Fagbemi, 2001) and by the exclusion of the child’s language, values and mode of cognition from the school environment (Ugodulunwa, 2007). It seems that the causes of low academic achievement are diverse and cannot be associated with a single factor alone. For instance, Adamu (1998) observed that self-concept and its variables may be a paramount factor in academic failure. Tukur & Musa (2001) attributed the causes of fluctuating performances among students to teacher-student interactions, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, classroom behaviour and other extraneous variables. The above may be responsible for the academic achievement of students in the area of the study. In Enugu State, the academic achievement of secondary school students has been observed to be generally poor. A look at the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination results in the past eight years (2005-2012) shows clearly the declining state of secondary school students’ achievements in external examinations in the state. The West African Certificate Examinations Council’s (WAEC) result analysis has it that in 2005, only 27.53% of candidates who sat for the senior secondary school certificate exanimation had five credit passes and above including English Language and Mathematics (WAEC, 2010). The same trend continued in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011and 2012 where only 15.56%, 25.54%, 13.76%, 25.99%, 24.94%, 30.99% and 25.76% of can
Consequences Of Deforestation On Rural Household Income.docxResearchWap
Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stands of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include the conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees are cut down to be used or sold as fuel (sometimes in the form of charcoal) or timber, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock, plantations of commodities and settlements. The removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has resulted in damage to habitat, biodiversity loss and aridity. It has adverse impacts on the biosequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Subsistence farming is responsible for 48% of deforestation; commercial agriculture is responsible for 32% of deforestation; logging is responsible for 14% of deforestation and fuel wood removals make up 5% of deforestation.
Other causes of contemporary deforestation may include corruption of government institutions, the inequitable distribution of wealth and power, population growth and overpopulation, and urbanization. Globalization is often viewed as another root cause of deforestation, though there are cases in which the impacts of globalization (new flows of labour, capital, commodities, and ideas) have promoted localized forest recovery.
The Effect Of Agbarho Slaughterhouse Effluent On The Agbarho River Water.docxResearchWap
Water is the prerequisite of life, mankind has settled along the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris, the Indus and the Yangtze-Kiang (Marsha et al., 1999). Since ancient times and well before the past millennium, people have sought ways of dealing with water (their main commodity and primary source of drinking, sanitation, irrigation, cultivation, transportation and communication). Two major water supplies are surface water and ground water and are the water resources for readily available water for human consumption. Surface water includes pounds, streams, rivers, oceans and lakes. Pure water rarely occur in nature due to water capacity to dissolve and absorb surrounding materials. Surface water is the most readily available, yet the most polluted as a result of anthropogenic, but happily, controllable activities (David, 2006).In Nigeria, surface water pollution is being associated with surface runoff, industrial effluent, cold-room effluent, domestic waste and abattoir effluent. In this study, emphasis is placed on effluent generated from abattoir processes.

Para-Gothicism is not a rediscovery of the gothic, but rather a rebirth of that style; it is also a modern name for Gothicism, a genre or mode of literature combining elements of both horror and romance. This research study is centred on the novels of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Love and struggle is the central Para-Gothic theme in both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. Love is presented as a powerful force in both novels. Love is used by both authors to develop the character's personalities, and produces two different outcomes. Both novels are stories of love and how this powerful emotion was able to overcome countless obstacles. Characters within Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre overcame the constraints society had upon them, what appeared to be their destinies and characters were able to overcome themselves. These obstacles were lengthy struggles that characters within each novel were faced with and went through immense pain all for love. The research study is designed in a five-chapter format, with chapter one as an introductory aspect, which leads to the review of related literature and also followed by the Para-Gothic elements/themes of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and finally, chapter four is a concluding part of the research study.

Language is a distinctive quality unique to man. It is what enables man to express him/herself and communicate with his/her fellow man, and it is acquired naturally. According to Fromkin et al “…language is the source of human life and power” (3). They also state that “we use language to convey information to others…, ask questions…, give command…, and express wishes” (173). There are two specific media of using language: oral – which is by words of mouth; and written – which is a graphic representation of words on paper.
It is in the use of language that style comes in. Style shows the difference between one piece of writing and the other. According to Adejare, “style is an ambiguous term…” (1). He further states that the term style means different things to different professions. Some examples are: to a psychologist, a style is a form of behaviour, to the critic, style is individuality and to the linguist, it is the formal structures in function (1).
Stylistics is the study of oral and written texts. It is the description of the linguistic characteristics (which means features of linguistics) of all situationally restricted uses of language. Linguistics is the scientific study of language or of a particular language.

INTRODUCTION
Background to the study
Personnel management is one of the most important and challenging functions of any
organization because it constitutes the ultimate basis for the creation and utilization of the wealth
of a nation. Okafor and Udu (2008) perceive management as a set of activities (planning,
decision making, organizing, leading and controlling) directed at an organization’s resources
(human, financial and physical) with the aim of achieving organizational goals in an efficient and
effective manner. Personnel management is the acquisition of personnel or human resources and
co-ordination of their performance within the organization. Riches and Morgan in Uche (2009)
explain that human resource management in any organization (education or otherwise) is part of
the process of management in general that focuses on the people aspect of management, ensuring
that the objective of the organization is met. In order words, personnel management is the
effective utilization of people at work to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization.
It is in line with the above assertion that Peretomode (2004) asserted that, personnel management
acts as the wheel of progress in the realization of educational goals and objectives. It means that
without an effective personnel management, an organization may find it difficult to achieve its
set goals and objectives. Nwachukwu (2000), argues that for an organization to attain its desired
objectives, it must seek to obtain the co-operation of the personnel working under it. It is clear
that personnel management is challenging in every organization but far more challenging in
educational institutions. This is because most of the activities in education deal with human
beings.
The management of educational institutions is faced with not only the complexities of
characters and behaviour of the staff, but also with those of the students and parents (Okoro,
2006). This means that the way and manner these chains of human elements are managed could
affect the success of educational institutions. Developing therefore, a functional structure that
accommodates the diverse needs of all the groups in the educational system remains a challenge
to the management in the education sector.
As is the case in other fields of human endeavours, the educational sector depends on
active, efficient, effective and reliable workforce to achieve success. To achieve the desired
success, the administrators in the Nursery / Primary school system are saddled with the
5. responsibility of directing, guiding and co-ordinating staff and students appropriately to achieve
excellent performance. Agreeing with this, Peretomode (2004), argues that the job of managing
the personnel is one of the crucial functions of educational administrators, because of the
existing correlation between effective management and achievement of educational goals and
objectives.
Personnel management is also called human resource management. Human resources according
to Nwachukwu (2000), consists of all the individuals engaged in any of the organizational
activities whose potentials such as talent and abilities are combined and utilized with other
resources (financial and physical) to procure goods and services. Human resource management
comprises planning, forecasting, organizing, controlling and co-ordinating specific activities like
recruitment, selection, training, development, motivation, remuneration, and assessment and
employee relations. These activities need to be handled through a systematic and structural
approach to achieve organizational goals, and at the same time ensuring delivery of satisfactory
services to the general private and the workers.
The importance of personnel management towards the achievement of educational goals
cannot be over-emphasized. According to Amstrong (2005), it helps in identifying current and
future human resource requirements to avoid shortages of manpower. Its importance is also seen
in the areas of ensuring that justice, equity and fair-play are maintained when dealing with staff
in the organization; ensuring that organizational goals are achieved through team work and co-
operative efforts; ensuring that employees’ needs are recognized in the organizational goals.
Personnel management equally helps in assisting personnel in building up a good career, and in
selecting and replacing the staff based on laid down principles to avoid favouritism that may mar
the realization of goals. This goes to say that personnel management covers both organizational
growth and provides conducive environment for employee development (Onah, 2008).
An effective and efficient personnel management makes for a good school organization
that in itself brings academic success. School organization is regarded as good and productive if
it is characterized with good personnel management. Such management is recognized by the
competency, honesty, loyalty, inspirational stride and co-operation of the staff. Adiotiome and
Ekwevugbe (2005) noted that parents and some stakeholders believe that the quality of
instruction in the private Nursery / Primary schools is higher than that of the private schools
because of proper management of personnel in the private schools. Private schools are those
6. schools owned by individuals or organization while private schools are those owned by the
government. Gobir (2005) asserts that privateNursery / Primary schools have qualified and
experienced staff but the problem of poor performance should be blamed on poor personnel
management. This is in line with the observation of the former president of Nigeria Olusegun
Obasanjo who, while launching the Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme in 200 9,
observed that the falling standard of education can be blamed on poor management.
Poor management of staff in the Nursery / Primary school system has been identified as
the major cause of anti-social behaviour such as the increasing cases of examination malpractice,
truancy, bullying, cultism, extortion and other social delinquencies observed among staff and
students. In this period of rapid expansion in the number of schools and student’s enrolment,
Ogba (2011) asserts that the job of managing the human elements of the organization is usually
very tasking. Under such environment, the management of each educational institution requires
both knowledge and application of personnel management principles and skills. The key
management task becomes how to get staff to comprehensively carry out the skill development
needs of students through the use of the academic curricula.
Identification of the skills and education needs of students is as important as assigning
specific teaching tasks towards addressing such issues like examination malpractice and cultism.
Although the Federal Reprivate of Nigeria (FRN, 2004) is very specific about the needed areas
of skill development, enhancing effective personnel management strategies that address students’
needs remains a difficult task in most educational institutions. The Federal Reprivate of Nigeria
(2004) indentified the major skills required in the Nursery / Primary level of education to
include: equipping the students with the skills that will lead them to scientific growth,
technological development, social emancipation, artistic mastery that will lead them to self
reliance and respect the views of others and acquisition of vocational knowledge. The above
skills can only be achieved through effective and efficient personnel management.
Nursery / Primary education is a very crucial level of education. It is a bridge between
Nursery / Primary and tertiary levels of education. Nursery / Primary education level provides
the general training necessary for individuals to acquire skills necessary to programme
themselves for future career challenges. According to Ogba (2011), the need to bridge
educational gaps arising from Nursery / Primary education and preparing students for
specialization in different fields of life, place fresh demands on the managers of Nursery /
7. Primary school level of education. This is because the number and structure of the workforce
expand at this level and there exist some degree of academic independence among teachers and
other staff.
The importance of personnel management in Nursery / Primary schools has remained a
great concern to parents, managers of education, researchers, students and consumers of the
products of education because of the quality of administration, management and achievement of
set goals that is declining in education and its attendant student delinquent behavior. It must be
noted that the management of schools in Nigeria before the Nigerian civil war was in the hands
of the Missions and private individuals or organizations. Omeje (2006) observed that personnel
management skills in educational institutions in Nigeria before and after the war were
characterized by general poor conditions of service for teachers in the then Mission and privately
owned Nursery / Primary and Nursery / Primary schools.
According to the Lagos State Nursery / Primary Education Management Board Reversed
Personnel management Manual (2010), Personnel management functions of the Nursery /
Primary Education Management Boards in the Lagos States of Nigeria involve recruitment of
staff, through proper advertisement that will not be less than six weeks and selection of qualified
candidates for employment, orientation of newly employed staff by way of in-service training,
provision of welfare schemes, assessment , promotion and discipline of staff. When recruitment
has been effected, the next function is orientation.
Orientation is designed to help newly employed staff become familiar with the
environment. Oboegbulem (2004) stated that orientation helps new staff have good impression
on the work environment, the nature of the community in which they will work, and the type of
colleagues they are going to work with. In-service training is a personnel management function
which is essential for professional growth and to keep abreast with changes in teaching
techniques and methods which are not static. Onu (2012) described in-service training as a
consciously designed programme to improve the professional growth of employees for the
achievement of organizational goals. Welfare of staff is also an important personnel management
function. It deals with conditions of service and provision of social amenities at work place. Agu
(2009) maintained that welfare of staff include such issues like adequate and prompt payment of
salaries and allowances, grant of study leave, grant of maternity leave and sick leave, among
others. Assessment of staff is also a personnel management function. Assessment means the
8. assessment of the worth or value of an undertaking. It is judgment of value performance.
Adeyemi (2009) viewed performance assessment as a systematic and formal assessment of both
employers and employees, made in a prescribed and uniform manner at a specified time to
identify both individual and group weaknesses and strengths so that weaknesses can be
converted into strength. It is the assessment of individual task performance based on some set
standards.
Promotion is another important aspect of personnel management; it elevates staff to the
next level. According to Adeyemi, promotion is the elevation of someone’s status as a result of
having satisfied the required conditions. Waziri (2014) perceives staff promotion as the positive
progression of staff in rank or position in recognition of their contributions towards the growth of
their institution or establishment. When staff get promoted, they are motivated to work harder for
the advancement of their establishments. As a result of these issues, it has become necessary to
ascertain the extent to which the Personnel Management skill have influence on the school
administration in Lagos State.
Balansikat and Gerhard (2005), say that globally, the majority of school leaders were not
trained as school leaders but they assume offices because of their experience. In United Kingdom
and Switzerland, future and serving head teachers are trained in management of schools, also
specific management and or certification is required in countries like Slovenia, Estovenia and
Catelonia. Performing head teachers are trained in different institutions and in varying
curriculum. The authors however, advocate for a higher degree of autonomy, coupled with
curriculum of: distributed management, supporting, evaluating and developing teacher quality,
goal setting, assessment and accountability, strategic finance and human resource management,
and networking with other institutions (Balansikat &Gerhard, 2005).
According to Stoner (2004), management is the ability to use different forms of power to
influence followers in a number of ways to accomplish organizational objectives. Ade (2003),
defined management as a social influence process in which the leader seeks the voluntary
participation of subordinated in an effort to reach organizational objectives.
Formal institutions including Nursery / Primary schools are established to impart
knowledge, skills, habits, values and attitudes among the learners. These institutions are led by
head teachers who are expected to employ management functions to achieve the organizational
goals. Examples of these functions are planning and policy making (Nir, 2003); organization,
9. motivation, and directing (Keegam, 2003); coordination and budgeting (Fapojuwo 2002);
personnel management or management (Deborah, 2002); curriculum development and
instructional management (Jamentz, 2002); providing students‟ personnel services such as
orientation, guidance and counselling and discipline (Renald, 2000). If such management
functions are employed properly, the functions can lead to good school performance.
Studies have been conducted to examine the effect of management of instructional
materials on teachers, performance in Kampala district. Findings showed that there was a
positive relationship between instructional materials and teachers‟ performance and that
students‟ academic performance has a root from the teachers‟ capacity to perform (Mpierwe
(2007).
Good educational performance in Nursery / Primary schools is an investment that
enhances developing human capital which has a significant positive correlation between
education and economic-social productivity of the national development (Nsubuga, 2003). The
new education policy of Universal Nursery / Primary and Nursery / Primary Education which is
aiming at equitable access to education, is posing a great challenge to head teachers and
traditional way of managing schools, students‟ enrolment in Nursery / Primary schools is rising
from time to time (Agura, 2011).The goal is not only to increase equitable access but also to
improve quality and efficiency in the management of Nursery / Primary schools. This mass
participation will require new management approaches such as good management, so that the
government achieves its objective of access and quality of education (Nsubuga 2010).
Through inefficiency, much learning time is lost in Sub-Saharan African Education.
Twenty five percent or more of school days may be lost each year in the poorly managed schools
(Lewin, 2001). Sashkin adds that, mass education at Nursery / Primary education level, requires
new management approaches such as visionary management and proper management styles
(Sashkin, 2003). Cole (2002), defines management as inspiring people to perform. “Even if an
institution has all the financial resource to excel, it may fail dismaily if management does not
motivate others to accomplish their tasks effectively” he says. Management in this context,
pursues effective performance in schools because it does not only examine tasks to be
accomplished and who to execute them, but also seeks to include greater reinforcement
characteristics like recognition, conditions of service and morale building, and coercion
remuneration (Balunywa, 2002).
10. When referring to performance, Lav (2007), says that good performance in any Nursery /
Primary school should not only be considered in terms of academic rigor, but should also focus
on other domains of education like affective and psychomotor domains. This refers to other
aspects like, discipline, co-curricular activities and school development aspects. In this regard,
Bitamazire (2005), said that in some Nursery / Primary schools there is increasing poor
performance in mainly the science subjects. Therefore this study aims at assessment of personnel
management skills among head teachers in Ifako Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Statement of the Problem
The importance of personnel management cannot be over-emphasized. First of all, it is
through it that personnel are recruited, selected, trained and developed for the achievement of the
objectives of an organization. Secondly, without an efficient personnel management, staff
welfare and promotion will be neglected.
It was observed by the researcher that most of the head teacher lack basic skill for
effective running of the school setting and this have serious implication on the running of the
school system The problem of this study therefore is to investigate the assessment of personnel
management skills among head teachers in Ifako Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Also, there is persistent poor performance of Nursery / Primary schools in Lagos State
metropolis which was observed by the researcher. Various researches have been conducted to
establish the possible causes of this poor performance in areas of: the productivity of the head
teachers, instructional materials, school resources and facilities, nature of management styles of
head teachers and nature of family background of students as possible causes of poor
performance. Solutions to these problems have been sought to mitigate the problem but in vain.
However, the researcher did not come across any research related assessment of personnel
management skills among private school owners in Ifako IjayeLocal Government Area of Lagos
State.
Therefore, this study main research “assessedthe personnel management skills among
head teachers in Ifako Ijaye Local Government Area of Lagos State”.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to examine the assessment of personnel management skills
among private school owners in Ifako Ijaye Local Government Area of Lagos State. The specific
objective therefore are:
11. 1. To examine the personnel management skills of school owners as assessed by teachers.
2. To determine the difference in school owner’s personnel management skill based on
school type.
Research Question
The following questions were raised to guide the conduct of the study:
1. What are the personnel management skills of school owners as assessed by teachers?
Research Hypotheses
The following research hypothesis was formulated to guide the conduct of the study:
Ho1: There is no significant difference in school owner’s personnel management skill based on
school type.
Significance of the Study
The findings of this study will be of immense benefit to the following stakeholders in
education: the Nursery / Primary Education Management Boards in Lagos States, Nigeria, the
ministries of education in the Lagos States, the principals, the teachers, non-teaching staff,
students, parents, researchers and the general private.
The result of this study will be of benefit to the school admistration since it will provide
information regarding the level of compliance with the personnel management manual
provisions on staff recruitment and posting, because it will provide a feedback to the Boards
regarding the extent to which the boards comply with the personnel management manuals’
provision on staff development programmes. It will also reveal to the need for more development
programmes for staff to enhance staff performance. The result of this study will be benefit the
owners of the private school, since the study will provide information regarding the extent of
compliance to the personnel management manual’s provisions on staff welfare services. The
result will help the private owners to ensure that staff welfare packages are taken very serious to
increase staff output.
The result of this study will benefit the private owners in Lagos States because it will
provide information regarding the extent to which the administration comply with the personnel
management mammals’ provision on staff discipline. This result will help the Boards ascertain
12. whether staff discipline is high and if otherwise what other methods of disciplinary actions could
be taken on staff. Staff on the other hand will benefit from this study to know that good behavior
is usually rewarded by the Boards. The results of this study will benefit the management Boards
because it will provide information regarding the extent the Board complies with the personnel
management manuals provision an assessment of staff. It will also provide necessary information
as to whether the Boards appraise staff as at and when due and the mechanisms used in
appraising both teaching and non-teaching staff of the Boards. Staff of the Boards will also
benefit since the study will expose them to the use of assessment techniques of the Boards.
The findings of this study may be of importance to the government, school leaders,
teachers, parents and students who will read this book. Although the study revealed that there is
no significant relationship between management of head teachers and school performance in
Nursery / Primary schools, the study showed that inadequate management of head teachers
contributes to the poor performance of schools. Therefore, this study may benefit the following
parties and stake holders:
Government, or the Ministry of Education: The study will help the government to always
consider management and management courses when hiring school heads. Also the government
will be aroused to always organise induction courses and in – service training programs for the
newly appointed head teachers particularly those who are already serving but who did not
undertake management and management courses at university.
School leaders and managers: The study will assist the serving head teachers to always crave for
short management courses and in-service programs in order to update themselves in their
management skills. More so, the study will awaken the school academic managers namely: head
teachers, deputy head teachers, and director of studies to always monitor and supervise the
teaching learning process effectively.
Teachers, students and parents: The teachers and students will be helped in their day to day
management of classroom activities and improve performance. Students, parents and the
community at large will benefit from the improved performance in areas of academics and
discipline.
To researchers: The study will form a basis for further research on the causes of poor
performance in schools such as the nature of students that are recruited.
13. The result of this study will be of benefit to future researchers because the findings will
provide additional body of knowledge in the field of personnel or human resource management
in our educational institutions.
