Recruitment and Selection Practices in Higher Institutions of Learning in Nigeria

Article October 25, 2019

Recruitment and selection have become essential tools in organizations because individuals with appropriate qualifications need to be attracted in sufficient numbers and on a timely basis. It is indeed surprising that despite the innovations that have been brought about by the 21st century technological transformation in the structure and practice of the recruitment and selection some countries are still caged with their moribund practice of traditional system of recruitment which are not only ineffective but inefficient in all ramifications. The objective of this paper therefore, is to examine the recruitment and selection process and procedures in Nigeria with special reference to institutions of higher learning. This is an opinion paper which made use of secondary data and on point assessment of information from the critical sector. The study revealed that the recruitment and selection process in Nigerian higher institutions is clouded in subjectivity and not based on objective criteria, which makes the whole activity inefficient and ineffective

Work Related Stress and Employee Commitment at Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi Uku, Delta State of Nigeria

Article February 9, 2019

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of stress in Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi Uku as well as to establish the link between work stress and the three dimensions of employee commitment among the 256 permanent teaching staff of the Polytechnic. For this purpose, structured questionnaires were randomly sampled on 120 teaching staff of the polytechnic, out of which 110 were duly completed and returned. Results from the research questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis. The findings reveal that work stress is negatively related to all the three types of commitment, namely, affective, normative and continuance, which is in line with the existing literature. The result of this investigation gives an implication that teaching staff with low job stress will be more committed than those with a high level of stress. This therefore, underscores the relevance of managing stress by reducing workload and role conflict and increasing lecturer’s autonomy. The paper offers practical suggestions of how the school management can reduce the level of stress among its teaching staff. This will in no small measure improve lecturers commitment and ultimately improve their performance at work towards raising the standard of the school graduates.
