Abstract

The study aimed to examine the relationship between ICT facilities and academic staff job performance in state-owned universities in Southwest Nigeria. It assessed the overall job performance of academic staff and investigated how the availability and quality of ICT facilities influence their productivity. A descriptive survey research design was used, involving 450 academic staff from three state-owned universities selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Data were collected using two instruments: the ICT Facilities Questionnaire (IFQ) and the Academic Staff Job Performance Questionnaire (ASJPQ). Reliability coefficients of 0.83 and 0.85, respectively, were obtained, indicating high reliability. The study revealed high overall job performance among academic staff, particularly in punctuality, student engagement, mastery of subject matter, and participation in academic events. However, there were areas for improvement, such as community advisory services and involvement in professional bodies. A significant relationship was found between the situation of ICT facilities and academic staff job performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.629 at a 0.05 level of significance. The study recommends that university management should invest in upgrading ICT facilities to enhance digital literacy and support interactive learning, thereby improving job performance. Continuous professional development through regular workshops and training sessions should be prioritized to keep lecturers updated on educational trends and methodologies.
