    Quality Management, Principal Instructional Supervision Skills, Human Resource Planning Practices and Senior Secondary School Teachers’ Attitude to Work in Lagos State
    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Ayinla Shamsideen SAULA
    In Lagos State, Nigeria, there seems to be a growing concern regarding the attitude of teachers to work among educational stakeholders. This is evident in poor record keeping habit, poor punctuality habits, irregular attendance, and other unacceptable behaviours which undermine the quality of the teaching profession. These observed problems may be due to many reasons such as turnover intention, heavy workload, and poor motivation, among others. Many studies have been carried out to identify the cause of the observed phenomena using other variables, but it seems little attention has been paid by researchers in the aspect of quality management, principal instructional supervision skills, and human resource planning practices on public senior secondary school teachers’ attitude to work in Lagos State, which creates a gap in literature this study tends to fill. A descriptive research design of the survey type was used to guide the study. The population consist of all 8,860 teachers and 311 principals in public senior secondary schools in Lagos State. A multi-stage sampling procedure was utilized. Self-developed questionnaire and interview guide for teachers and principals respectively were used as instrument for the study. The findings revealed that the level of teachers attitude to work was moderate (x̄=2.94); level of quality management was high (x̄=3.00); level of principals’ instructional supervision skills was moderate (x̄=2.80); mostly used human resources management practice was training (x̄=2.90); the combined influence of the independent variables has a significant influence on the dependent variable (Adj. R2 =0.990) and (F(3,1996)=64023.303; p<0.05); on-going professional development has the strongest positive influence on teachers’ attitude to work (β=0.430, t=19.669, p<0.05); there was a significant gender difference in teachers’ attitude to work. It was recommended among others that educational stakeholders should implement comprehensive teacher well-being programmes that address both positive and negative attitudes among teachers.
