Abstract
Staff development is vital to the success of any academic institution as it
ensures that staff maintains and enhances their skills and knowledge that can
be used to improve quality and performance in their job role. Therefore,
assessing the satisfaction of staff towards staff development activities is
becoming increasingly important to its success. This paper aims to focus on the
reasons why academic staff attends staff development workshops/sessions, to
determine their satisfaction levels towards staff development and whether
participation in such activities enhances their perceptions of their teaching
practices and how effective they are as a teacher.

72. Data was gathered through a questionnaire survey. The results indicated that the
two main reasons for attending staff development are to ‘gain knowledge and
skills’ and for ‘personal development’. However, the two external factors that
constrained them from attending all the workshops/sessions were ‘time conflict’
and ‘administrative workload’. A significant positive relationship between
satisfaction with staff development and enhancing staff’s effectiveness as a
teacher, teaching practices and applying the knowledge and techniques acquired
in their lectures and classes was also found.
