This study investigated the extent to which boosting of staff morale, staff empowerment and team building served as a strategy for ensuring effective management of tertiary education for global competitiveness in Nigeria. Quantitative research design was used for the study. Seven public tertiary education institutions in Kwara State were purposely selected for the study.

The population of this study comprised of 3,600 academic staff in public tertiary education institutions in Kwara State. Sample of 330 lecturers and 21 school mangers were selected with the use of Research Advisor (2006) table to determine the sample size of a known population. A self-designed questionnaire titled “Human Resource Development for Global Competitiveness Questionnaire” (HRDGCQ) was used to collect information for the study. The data collected were analyzed using t-test statistical analysis. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that there was no significant difference between the boosting of staff morale, staff empowerment, teem building and management of tertiary education for global competitiveness. It was recommended that effort should be made by government to continue boosting staff moral by providing conducive environment, proper support of staff, as well as participation of staff in organizational decision making. Staff empowerment should also be part of government priorities in the management of tertiary education. Furthermore, government and school administrators should encourage team building among lecturers so as to enhance effective management of tertiary education for global competitiveness in Nigeria.

This study investigated the relationship between human resource development practices and job performance of academic staff at Mbarara University of Science and Technology. The human resource development practices in relation to job performance of academic staff were performance appraisal, training and promotion. The study used the correlational research design on a sample of 150 respondents with data collected using a questionnaire survey. Data were analysed using quantitative methods. Descriptive results revealed that performance of academic staff was high. The implementation of performance appraisal was fair (moderate). Regression results showed that training and promotion had positive and significant influence on job performance of academic staff. Nevertheless, the influence of performance appraisal on job performance of academic staff was not significant. Therefore, it was concluded that the implementation of performance appraisal was weak to have a significant influence on performance of academic staff. Training was essential for performance of academic staff in the university and promotion was a prerequisite for performance of academic staff. Hence, it was recommended that human resource director and administrators in the university should strengthen the implementation of performance appraisal, training should be prioritized to enhance performance of academic staff in the university and promotion should be given significant priority to promote performance of academic staff.
