Abstract

The integration of technology in education, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has compelled public universities in South-west Nigeria to shift towards online teaching. This study investigates the critical administrative factors—budgeting, coordination, and supervision—influencing academic staff effectiveness in this new educational landscape. Utilising a quantitative research design, data were collected from 610 academic staff members across various universities through structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including correlation and hypothesis testing, were conducted to examine the relationships between the identified constructs and academic staff effectiveness. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between adequate budgeting, effective coordination, and supportive supervision with academic staff effectiveness. Specifically, the study found that universities with robust budgeting strategies and coordinated efforts among faculty and administration reported higher staff morale and improved teaching quality. Additionally, the lack of regular supervisory feedback was highlighted as a barrier to professional growth for many academic staff. In conclusion, addressing the challenges associated with budgeting, coordination, and supervision is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of academic staff in online teaching. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing actionable insights for university administrators and policymakers, emphasising the need for comprehensive administrative frameworks. By focusing on these critical areas, public universities can better equip their faculty to meet the evolving demands of education in the digital age, ultimately leading to improved student educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between principals' intellectual stimulation and teachers' job satisfaction in public secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. This study identified specific intellectual stimulation strategies employed by principals to assess the level of job satisfaction among teachers and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies. A descriptive research design was used for the study. A random sampling technique was used to select 352 teachers from 30 public secondary schools in nine local government areas in Oyo State, Nigeria. The findings indicate that teachers who perceived their principals as intellectually stimulating reported higher job satisfaction. The findings revealed that certain intellectual stimulation strategies positively impact teachers' job satisfaction, highlighting the importance of leadership practices in educational settings. It suggests that teachers who perceive their principals as intellectually stimulating are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs, motivated to perform at their best, and more committed to their professional roles. The study concludes that principals must embrace their role as intellectual stimulators and champions of continuous learning to cultivate a positive work environment.   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara stimulasi intelektual kepala sekolah dan kepuasan kerja guru di Sekolah Menengah Negeri di Negara Bagian Oyo, Nigeria.
