Abstract

This paper examines the evolution and impact of personnel management practices in higher education institutions, with a specific focus on Nigerian Colleges of Education. The study explores the critical role of personnel management in ensuring the effectiveness of educational institutions through recruitment, training, motivation, and discipline. Despite the outlined guidelines by the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), several challenges hinder the proper implementation of personnel management, particularly in the North-East region of Nigeria. These challenges include poor recruitment practices, inadequate training programs, political interference, and limited funding. The study adopts a qualitative research approach, relying on secondary data sources such as scholarly articles, policy documents, and reports related to personnel management in higher education. The paper concludes that addressing these issues is vital for enhancing staff commitment and productivity, ultimately fostering institutional success and academic excellence.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between motivation and job commitment among academic staff in Nigerian Colleges of Education, emphasizing both financial and non-financial motivational factors. Motivation significantly impacts the behaviour and performance of academic staff, affecting their engagement in teaching, research, and community service. Utilizing a correlational research design, this study examines personnel management practices such as recruitment, training, development, and discipline and their effects on job commitment. The findings reveal that financial incentives, such as salaries and overtime compensation, and non-financial motivators, like professional recognition and working conditions, play crucial roles in fostering job commitment. The study employs a correlational research design to examine the relationship between personnel management practices, such as recruitment, training, development, motivation, and discipline—and academic staff job commitment However, gaps exist in providing adequate non-financial benefits like accommodation and health services. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing both financial and non-financial incentives and improving work environments to boost job commitment among academic staff in Nigerian Colleges of Education.
