Abstract

Inflation and hyperinflation rate have reduced the financial powers of lecturers, which was the reason for this study, Impact of Fuel Subsidy Removal on Lecturers’ Salary: Implication on Job Performance of Selected Tertiary Institutions in Rivers State. Two specific objectives, research questions and null hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. From the population of 78 lecturers, census survey sampling was adopted. A four-point response options questionnaire was used for data collection, and it was validated by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach’s alpha which yielded alpha coefficients of 0.82 and 0.83. Mean was used to answer the two research questions, while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that the negative impact of fuel subsidy removal on lecturers’ financial power and the negative implication of the impact of fuel subsidy removal on lecturers’ job performance were on a high level. It was also concluded that the government did not do enough to mitigate the sufferings of lecturers before, during and after fuel subsidy removal by reviewing salaries upwards, in accordance with the economic practicality. Among other things, it was recommended that the federal and state governments should review lecturers’ salary upward in accordance with the inflation and hyperinflation rates in Nigeria, to enable lecturers meet their family needs and job performance.
取消燃料补贴对讲师薪酬的影响:对河流州部分高等院校工作绩效的影响
通货膨胀和恶性通货膨胀率削弱了讲师的经济实力,这也是本研究 "取消燃料补贴对讲师薪酬的影响:对河流州部分高等院校工作绩效的影响》的研究。本研究以两个具体目标、研究问题和零假设为指导。研究采用了描述性调查研究设计。从 78 名讲师中进行了普查抽样。数据收集采用了四点回答选项问卷,并由三位专家进行了验证。采用 Cronbach's alpha 确定了问卷的可靠性,得出的 Alpha 系数分别为 0.82 和 0.83。平均值被用来回答两个研究问题,而单向方差分析(ANOVA)和 t 检验被用来在 0.05 的显著性水平上检验零假设。研究结果表明,取消燃料补贴对讲师经济能力的负面影响和取消燃料补贴对讲师工作绩效的负面影响都很高。研究还得出结论,在取消燃料补贴之前、期间和之后,政府没有采取足够措施,根据经济实际情况上调工资,以减轻讲师的痛苦。除其他事项外,建议联邦政府和州政府根据尼日利亚的通货膨胀率和恶性通货膨胀率上调讲师的工资,以使讲师能够满足家庭需求和工作表现。
