Abstract

This paper studies the job performance of academic staff by examining the teaching effectiveness of academic staff and the level of research productivity of academic staff. Two hundred and fifty academic staff and nine hundred and sixty-seven students were used as samples for the study. Data from the study were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that teaching by academic staff in Southwestern Nigeria was effective using indicators of teaching performance such as mastery of work by staff, attitude to teaching, accessibility of lecturers by students and supervision. Also, findings showed that academic staff are moderately productive in research. The study found out that academic staff in Southwestern Nigeria are performing above average. However, effort should be directed to helping academics improve on research productivity especially writing of books.
