Item A CONTINGENCY APPROACH TO EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF A MULTICAMPUS INSTITUTION OF HIGHER TECHNICAL EDUCATION(1995-09) ADIGUN, A. O.This study set out to determine the effectiveness of contingency approach to the management of a multicampus institution of higher technical education in Nigeria. This was with a view to making policy recommendations for more effective management of the tertiary institutions in the Country. Based on the conceptual framework of the contingency approach to management, the study which was carried out before the creation of Osun State from Oyo State in 1991 covered a multicampus institution of higher technical education in Nigeria - The Polytechnic, Ibadan and its satellite campuses at Eruwa, Esa-Oke, Iree and Saki. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Three sets of questionnaire were used as instrument: The MPQ, the NAMQ and the SVQ were administered to 546 randomly selected subjects from the Academics, Non-Academic and Students population of the institution covered by this study. These were complemented with records at the National Board for Technical Education, Kaduna and The Polytechnic, Ibadan and the responses of all the categories of respondents to oral interview conducted by the researcher. The data collected through the instruments used were analysed with the use of Z-distribution statistical tool to determine the degree of the effectiveness of contingency approach to the management of multi-campus institutions of higher technical education in Nigeria. The findings from the study established that:(a) Contingency as a style may be one leadership style for the effective management of a multicampus institution of higher technical education;(b) There is significant relevance of communication skill of the manager for effective management of a multi-campus institution of higher technical education;(c) There is significant relationship between the ability of the manager to motivate the workers and the organizational goals achievement of a multicampus institution of higher technical education; (d) The contingency approach to management is more effective than the system approach to managing a multicampus institution of higher technical education; The policy implications of these findings for effective management of a multi-campus institution of higher technical education were enumerated and suggestions were made on how a multi-campus institution of higher technical education could be better managed, using contingency approach to management. The highlights of the suggestions include:(a) That the management of multi-campus institutions of higher technical education must be adaptive by placing high premium on contingency approach;(b) Managers of multi-campus institutions of technical education should learn to understand the dynamic changing nature of environmental forces both internal and external facing their institution at a point in time;(c) A clear understanding of the potential of contingency concepts by the leaders and administrators of multi-campus institution of higher technical education is strongly recommended; (d) That the managers of multi-campus institution of higher technical education should learn how to solve their institution's problems based on the situations within the environment;(e) The managers of multi-campus institution of higher technical education must up-date their knowledge with new ideas about effective management through training and self-development.Item A CONTINGENCY APPROACH TO EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF A MULTICAMPUS INSTITUTION OF HIGHER TECHNICAL EDUCATION(1995-09) ADIGUN, A.

A.The major problems facing educational system in Nigeria are those of resource allocation and resource utilisation. This study took stock of the resources in the Junior Secondary Schools in Oyo State and evaluated the degree of internal efficiency of Junior Secondary Education. The study focussed on: 1) making a critical analysis of the extent to which resources are made available to Junior Secondary Education in Oyo State; 2) identifying the extent to which the resources are being utilised; 3) finding the extent to which Junior Secondary education graduates are being admitted to technical and teacher training Colleges; 4) determining the extent of wastage rate reduction and improvement in students academic performance during the period; finding the extent to which the System is internally efficient; and 6) identifying causes of inefficiency, and suggesting recommendations for the elimination. To achieve these objectives, five research questions were raised and four hypotheses were tested. In providing answers for the research questions and testing the hypotheses, two sets of instruments: An Evaluation of Efficiency Questionnaire (EEQ I) for Principals and EEQ II for Guidance Counsellors were developed. Information was also collected from the Examinations Department, and also the Statistics Division of the Ministry of Education, Ibadan. For data analsysis, simple percentages were used to determine the growth trend, the reconstructed cohort method was employed to determine the wastage rates and wastage ratios, Chi-square, Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation Coefficients and t-test were used to determine the relationship between the internal and external efficiency of schools under study and to test the hypotheses. The findings show, among other things that: 1) the resources available for Junior Secondary Education in the area under study were not adequate. There were inadequate number of technical and science teachers. Physical and material resources were also inadequate; 2) some technical workshops, technical equipment and teachers were found not to be fully utilised; 3) there were inadequate technical and teacher training Colleges for those aspiring to proceed in technical and teacher training education. Up to 1990, both technical and teacher training Colleges were able to admit 6.3 per Cent of the total population of junior secondary education graduates of Oyo State and 21.7 per cent of the proportion that were not qualified for academic courses; 4) the teaching of most of the technical and vocational subjects had not started; 5) the internal efficiency , of Junior Secondary Education between 1986 and 1990 was: far from being perfect; 6) between 1986 and 1990, the internal efficiency of Junior Secondary Schools showed an improving trend; The wastage ratio decreased from 1.16 in 1988 to 1.07 in 1990 and the wastage rate decreased from 8.7 per Cent in 1988 to 4.7 per cent in 1990; 7) there was a significant relationship in the internal and external efficiency of the schools studied; 8) internal efficiency between schools in the areas of focus had no significant difference; 9) student-teacher ratio was found to be normal in the study area. The average was found to be 21:1.
