Abstract

The study examined professional development approaches and business educators’ job performance in tertiary institutions in Imo state. It specifically focused on the relationship between in-service and on-the-job training approaches of professional development and the teaching and research performance of business educators in tertiary institutions. A co-relational research design was adopted in the study. The population of the study comprised 52 business educators in the two tertiary institutions currently running business education programme in Imo state. Data was collected from the respondents with the means of a structured questionnaire designed by the researchers. Data collected for the study was analyzed with mean (X) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r). Analysis of the data collected revealed that both in-service and on-the-job training have a very strong positive relationship with business educators’ job performance in tertiary institutions. Consequently, it was concluded that in-service and on-the-job training approaches of professional development play important roles in the performance of business educators in tertiary institutions. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that: government should come up with a compulsory policy that will coerce management of institutions to prioritize regular professional development of their employees; and Management of institutions should combine both in-service and on-the-job training approaches in the professional development of their employees.
伊莫州高等教育机构中的专业发展方法与商业教育工作者的工作绩效
本研究探讨了伊莫州高等院校商科教育工作者的专业发展方法和工作绩效。研究特别关注了专业发展的在职和在岗培训方法与高等院校商科教育工作者的教学和研究绩效之间的关系。研究采用了共同关系研究设计。研究对象包括伊莫州两所正在开办商业教育课程的高等院校中的 52 名商业教育工作者。研究人员通过设计结构化问卷向受访者收集数据。研究收集的数据用平均值(X)和皮尔森积矩相关系数(r)进行分析。对所收集数据的分析表明,在职培训和在岗培训与高等院校商科教育工作者的工作绩效有着非常密切的正相关关系。因此,得出的结论是,在职和在岗培训这两种专业发展方式对高等院校商科教育工作者的工作绩效起着重要作用。根据研究结果,建议:政府应制定强制性政策,强制院校管理层优先考虑员工的定期专业发展;院校管理层应在员工的专业发展中结合在职和在岗培训方法。
