Abstract
In spite of the nation’s struggle towards the attainment of the sustainable development goal, students exhibit poor performance in and negative attitude to education as a result of teachers’ poor performance. Past studies on interventions neglected teachers’ factors in the areas of teachers’ organisational culture (Adaptability, Consistency and Involvement) and working conditions (Level of remuneration, Teachers’ workload and School physical facilities) for an improved teachers' administrative and teaching performances. This study therefore examined the organisational culture and working conditions as predictors of teachers' performances in public secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. Denison's theory of organizational culture and Herzberg's two factor theory provided the framework. The study adopted descriptive survey design of correlational type. The sample consisted of 2500 teachers and 178 principals from public secondary schools across Oyo State using multi-stage random sampling technique. Instruments used were: Organizational
Culture and Working Conditions Questionnaire (OCWCQ) (r=0.80) and Teachers’ Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ) (r=0.81). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics of simple frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation and Multiple regression at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that teaching (xത=3.08) and administrative (xത=2.70) performances of teachers were moderate. Organizational culture involvement ( xത =2.81), consistence ( xത =2.85) and adaptability (xത=2.83) was good. Working conditions of school physical facilities (xത=1.71) and teacher remuneration level ( xത =1.94) were bad while workload of teachers ( xത =2.62) was= moderate. Results showed significant combined influence of organizational culture and working conditions on teacher’s performance (R=0.25; Adj R2=0.05; F(2,177)=5.74, p<0.05). However, organizational culture involvement (β=0.22, t=2.96), consistency (β=0.02, t=1.35) and adaptability (β=0.14, t=2.87) had negative relative influence on teacher’s performance. Gender of teachers has no influence on teacher’s performance. It was therefore recommended that organizational culture should be maintained and teachers working conditions should be improved to enhance teachers’ efficient performance.
