Abstract

This study examined the nexus between human resource management and lecturers’ job performance in Kwara State Colleges of Education, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of correlational type was used. Four hundred and four lecturers in the three state Colleges of Education formed the population of the study. All three institutions were purposively selected. Two hundred and two lecturers were proportionately selected out of the 404 in the institutions. Human Resource Management and Lecturers’ Job Performance Questionnaire (HRMLJPQ) was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was validated, and its reliability test yielded a coefficient of 0.85. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to test the hypotheses. The study found that there was a significant relationship between human resource management and lecturers’ job performance (p < 0.05). The study concluded that human resource management plays a significant role in enhancing lecturers’ job performance in Kwara State Colleges of Education, Nigeria. It was recommended, among other things, that the Kwara State Government should prioritise effective management of lecturers in Kwara State Colleges of Education, to perpetually boost their morale towards effective job performance, which would help enhance goal achievement in the institutions.
