ABSTRACT

Colleges of Education and other tertiary institutions like Universities assume the role of training and producing teachers to teach in junior secondary schools and primary schools in Nigeria. The success or failure of any college of education depends very much on the ability of the institution to train and develop its staff into a productive, competent and skilled work force which is capable of, and willing to work towards the realization of these objectives. Past studies have revealed that employee performance may be affected by factors such as training, burnout, organizational justice, compensation and environmental support. Therefore, the current study examined the Influence Of Job Related Factors On The Performance Of Academic Staff In Jigawa State College Of Education, Gumel. A total of 148 academic staff participated in the research. A survey research design was used and data were collected by using instruments adapted from past studies. The study employed partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SPSS software. The results of the structural model showed that burnout, organizational justice, supportive college environment have significant negative effect on academic staff performance and Compensation and training and development have significant positive effect on academic staff performance in JSCOE Gumel. The study therefore recommended social intervention, training and development programs and fairness and justice should be exercised in organizational dealings.
