STAFF CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND PRODUCTIVITY IN AKWA IBOM STATE UNIVERSITY
Abstract
The Akwa Ibom State University is a public sector organization which was established to
attain certain goals and one of such is productivity. As a result of the poor staff
conditions of service, the recent strike action embarked by the staff of Akwa Ibom State
University generated a lot of public discourse. The study examined Staff Conditions of
Service and Productivity in Akwa Ibom State University. Hertzberg Hygiene theory was
adopted. Descriptive survey design was adopted. Based on the population of the study which
was 1479, a sample size of 315 was drawn. This was made possible through Taro Yamane
statistical technique. The questionnaire was used as instruments in data collection. However,
data related to the responses of the staff were tabulated and presented in tables as well
adopting a percentage method while the chi-square statistical technique was used to test the
hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings in the study revealed that delay in
salaries/other allowances, job security and inadequate accommodation/working facilities
were all significantly related with staff productivity in Akwa Ibom State University. The
study recommends among others that it is necessary to employ a set of tools that incorporate
prompt salary and other allowances of staff while placing added emphasis on non-monetary
rewards
