Abstract

This study investigated the relationship among teachers’ occupational interests, job satisfaction and performance in government secondary schools in North-Central Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey design using teachers in government secondary schools in the North-Central Geopolitical zone of Nigeria. A sample size of 384 teachers comprising 153 males and 231 females participated in the study through stratified random sampling procedure. Three instruments were used for the study – Vocational Interests Inventory (VII) Job Satisfaction Inventory for Teachers (JOSIT) and Teachers Job Performance Inventory (TEJOPI). The reliability of the instruments was determined through test re-test method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient which yielded reliability indices of 0.92, 0.84 and 0.81 for VII, JOSIT and TEJOPI respectively. One research question and three hypotheses guided the conduct of the study. Data generated was analyzed using mean scores and standard deviation for the research question. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for hypotheses one and two while Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test hypothesis three. The findings revealed that teachers in government secondary schools in North-Central Nigeria were dissatisfied with their jobs as reflected in the sectional mean of 2.712. The findings further revealed that a significant relationship existed between occupational interests and job satisfaction but not with job performance. The findings further indicated that there was no significant relationship between jobs satisfaction and Job performance. The researcher recommended among other measures, that government as the major employer of labour should ensure periodic improvements in the working conditions of teachers to enhance their job satisfaction and boost productivity.
尼日利亚中北部公立中学教师职业兴趣、工作满意度与绩效的关系
本研究调查奈及利亚中北部公立中学教师的职业兴趣、工作满意度与绩效之间的关系。本研究采用描述性调查设计,调查对象为尼日利亚中北部地缘政治地区公立中学的教师。本研究采用分层随机抽样方法,样本量为384名教师,其中男153名,女231名。本研究采用教师职业兴趣量表(VII)、教师工作满意度量表(JOSIT)和教师工作绩效量表(TEJOPI)。采用Pearson积矩相关系数检验重测法确定仪器的信度,其中VII、JOSIT和TEJOPI的信度指标分别为0.92、0.84和0.81。一个研究问题和三个假设指导了研究的进行。生成的数据使用研究问题的平均得分和标准偏差进行分析。假设一和假设二采用方差分析(ANOVA),假设三采用Pearson积差相关系数检验。调查结果显示,尼日利亚中北部公立中学的教师对他们的工作不满意,这反映在2.712的地区平均值上。研究结果进一步揭示了职业兴趣与工作满意度之间存在显著的关系,而与工作绩效之间不存在显著的关系。研究结果进一步表明,工作满意度与工作绩效之间没有显著的关系。在其他措施中,研究人员建议,政府作为劳动力的主要雇主应该确保教师的工作条件定期改善,以提高他们的工作满意度和提高生产力。
