Variables such as tenure, salary, excellent compensation and training and development were assessed. Four research queries were provided answers to. Two reasonable guesses were tested. Survey research was applied. 189 business educators were used for the study. A total of 179 questionnaires were found usable representing 94.7 percent. The instrument was validated by Three experts validated the items in the questionnaire. The instrument yielded 0.98 using the Cronbach alpha to enhance its face and content validity. The descriptive statistics was used to answer all questions raised for the study. The reasonable guesses were tested with the t-test statistics.  Lecturers’ Job Satisfaction and Value Creation Questionnaire (LJSVCQ) were administered on the respondents by the researcher with two supporting persons. Results revealed business educators: male and female, married and single, were satisfied with job tenure, salary they earned. It also revealed business educators were satisfied with excellent compensation, training and development. Male do not differ with female business educators in their levels of job satisfaction. Married lecturers do not differ from single business educators in their levels of job satisfaction.

This study examined the effect of internal controls on performance of selected tertiary institutions in Ekiti state using a committee of sponsoring organisations (COSO) framework approach. The study employed a survey research design. Primary data were obtained and analysed using multiple regression analysis. Findings from the study showed that the overall influence of COSO components of internal control on performance of selected tertiary institutions in Ekiti state was significantly positive. However, Control activities (CA) (t =2.487, p=0.013 <0.05), Information & communication (IFC) (t=7.195, p=0.000 < 0.05) and Monitoring activities (MA) (t=4.809, p=0.000 < 0.05) had significant and positive influence on organisational performance of the selected tertiary institutions while Control environment (CE) (t =0.569, p=0.570 > 0.05) and Risk assessment (RA) (t=0.446, p=0.656 > 0.05) had positive but insignificant effect on organisational performance of the selected tertiary institutions. The study concluded that internal control had a positive effect on performance and was statistically significant in explaining performance of selected tertiary institutions in Ekiti state. The study thus recommended that those charged with governance in tertiary institutions should strengthen the highlighted components of internal controls.

The design of a performance appraisal system may be considered an unusual topic in the field of career development. However, it is considered most relevant in the current employment climate for graduates given the repeated emphasis on career development at various stages of the employment process. There has been a growing emphasis since the mid-1970s on employees' needs rather than just organisational needs, and a recognition of the strategic value of employees being developed to their best potential. Organisations have become increasingly aware that the effective development of their employees' skills and knowledge has benefits for the whole organisation. Career development (or employee or professional development) is a thread that runs through each stage of this discussion of the design of a performance appraisal system. This issue of career development may also be observed in promotional brochures and information sessions given by recruiters of graduates of tertiary institutions. Much is made of training and development opportunities as organisations seek to attract the brightest and best graduates to their graduate management trainee programs. Performance appraisal can be a crucial factor in the setting of career goals and the perception of job satisfaction leading to increased motivation and productivity.
