    Leadership Styles, School Welfare Measures and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour among Administrative Staff in Private Universities in Oyo State
    (Lead City University, 2024-11) Onome Peace AVURAKOGHENE
    Private University administrative staff in Oyo State seems to be exhibiting poor organizational citizenship behaviours, resulting in reduced support, job satisfaction, effectiveness, turnover, and reduced innovation. Factors contributing to this include poor organisational justice, work motivation, work-life balance, and poor working conditions among others. However, little research has been conducted on the influence of leadership styles and school welfare measures on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities of Oyo State. Thus, to bridge this gap this study investigated the influence of these factors on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. A descriptive research design was used to guide the study. The population consisted of all 675 administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. A complete enumeration sampling technique was used in the study. The findings revealed that the level of organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State was high ( x̄=3.23); the most adopted leadership style in private universities in Oyo State was the transformational style; level of school welfare measures was high (x̄=3.14); the combined influence of leadership styles and school welfare measures had a significant influence on organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State (Adj. R2 = 0.991) and (F(2,614) = 32145.714; p < 0.000); among the leadership styles, pace-setting demonstrates the strongest positive influence on organisational citizenship behaviour (β = 0.401, t = 15.325, P < 0.05); study leave does not significantly influence organisational citizenship behaviour (β = -0.003, t = -0.137, p > 0.05). Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that private universities should invest in comprehensive leadership training programmes and prioritise enhancing school welfare measures to encourage organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State.

    School Welfare Measures and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour among Administrative Staff in Private Universities in Oyo State, Nigeria
    (Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences Vol. 13 Issue 1 (March, 2025), 2025-03) Onome Peace AVURAKOGHENE; Afolakemi O. OREDEIN
    There seem to be a pressing concern regarding organisational citizenship behaviour among educational stakeholders in Oyo State, Nigeria as observed by the researcher. It appears that there is a noticeable decline in the organisational citizenship behaviour of administrative staff within private universities in Oyo State, resulting in various detrimental outcomes such as diminished organisational support, decreased job satisfaction, and reduced organisational effectiveness. Poor organisational justice, poor work motivation, a heavy workload may be the reason for the observed phenomena among other factors. Many studies have been carried out to identify the causes of the aforementioned problem in other states, but it seems little attention has been paid by researchers in Oyo State. Thus, to fill this gap, this study investigated the relationship between school welfare and organisational citizenship behaviour among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. Total enumeration sampling technique was utilised to arrive at a sample size of 675 administrative staff. Se(ASOCBQ) for administrative staff was used to collect data, and the reliability of the instrument was determined using cronbach’s alpha α = 0.995. The study employed various descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, to address the research questions. Additionally, inferential statistics, specifically the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), was employed to rigorously test the hypotheses. The study reveals a remarkably high level of organisational citizenship behaviour and school welfare measures with a weighted mean of 3.23 and 3.14 respectively. Findings from correlation analysis between school welfare measures and organisational citizenship behaviour indicate an exceptionally high correlation coefficient of 0.995**, suggesting a strong and consistent linear relationship.Among recommendations, the study suggests providing specialised training or workshops to enhance courteous behaviour among administrative staff, especially considering a slightly lower level of courtesy behaviour involvement.
