Abstract


The study investigated performance appraisal and compensation competencies required by administrators for effective management of tertiary institutions in South-South Nigeria. The study answered two research questions while two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in carrying out the study.

 

 

The population of the study comprised 1,736 administrators from the existing public tertiary institutions in the six South-South states of Nigeria. The sample of the study was 868, representing 50% of the population. The instrument that was used for data collection was a questionnaire titled Human Resource Management Questionnaire (HRMQ) that was face-validated by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using Cronbach Alpha reliability method which yielded a coefficient of 0.84 for employee performance appraisal and 0.87 for employee compensation. Out of the 868 copies of the questionnaire that were administered, 844 copies (97.24%) were completely filled and retrieved. Data collected were analyzed using mean to answer the research questions and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. Based on the data collected and analysed, the study identified 21 human resource management competencies in employee performance appraisal and employee compensation that are highly required by administrators of tertiary institutions in South-South, Nigeria. There is no significant difference (p < 0.05) in the mean ratings of the administrators in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education on the human resource management competencies required for employee performance appraisal and employee compensation in tertiary institutions in South-South, Nigeria. The study therefore recommends, among others, that there should be unified and codified guidelines and rubrics on employee performance appraisal and employee compensation for implementation in the tertiary institutions studied.
