In this case, the need for ensuring employee job satisfaction becomes a matter of necessity to every organisation. Though, studies have been conducted by various researchers and scholars in this area, there is however the need to conduct more studies on job satisfaction and performance of an employee since the employees are believed to be an indispensable part of an organisation. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and performance of non-academic staff of Bauchi State University Gadau Nigeria (BASUG). Dissatisfaction is believed to be one of the major factors that demotivates and demoralise employee in the workplace which can result to lower productivity thereby affecting the overall performance of the organisation. Consequently an aggregate of two hundred and seventy questionnaires were distributed non- academic staff of BASUG based on systematic random sampling and data collected is analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The outcome of the analysis depicts that there is positive and significant relationship between job satisfactions on the performance of non- academic staff of the University. The study will serve as a policy guide to the management of the Nigerian Universities in areas relating to employee performance improvement through job satisfaction and it will also further make an impetus the field of organisational behaviour and human resource management.","PeriodicalId":376426,"journal":{"name":"The Millennium University Journal","volume":"22 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114020065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The First World War was the first greatest hostility among the nations and the whole earth witnessed its devastation. At that time traditional norms began to receive a sudden shock. In every sector: social, economic or cultural, common people began to observe an unexpected transition and as authors and poets had more receptive personalities, they captured this situation and engaged themselves to put an end to the old systems. They manipulated their writings to welcome this new phenomenon. In Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf has focused on post war London with people who have survived and continued their lives despite the tumult of war. The First World War also left great imprint on the history and psyche of the people of other part of the globe. In Kazi Nazrul Islam‟s famous epistolary novel Badhon Hara, some glimpses of the day to day lives of typical Bangali of West Bengal are portrayed during wartime. The events of both novels have an indirect link with the Great War but war is not the sole theme in both of these novels. These two novels emphasize human relationship, love and affection and make the readers aware of a sense of freedom. This paper tries to make a comparative study between Mrs. Dalloway and Badhon Hara to find out the similarities and also the unique properties that are manifested in these two pieces of post war literature.","PeriodicalId":376426,"journal":{"name":"The Millennium University Journal","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131903027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
