Abstract

The study investigates the “Influence of Institutional Motivation and Development Programmes on Productivity of Academic Staff in Government-owned Polytechnics in Rivers State”. The study is carried out in the two government-owned polytechnics namely; Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori and Capt. Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola, Port- Harcourt. Five research questions were raised of which one was hypothesized and tested at 0.05 Alpha Level. The research adopted the conclusive research and the population consisted of all academic staff in the institutions. 200 academic staff made up the sample site using a multi-stage stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire was used. The instrument had reliability co-efficient of 0.70. Data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages and the hypothesis formulated was tested with the use of t-test. It was shown in this study that the Academic Staff of the two polytechnics under study did not regularly organize seminars, symposia and workshops and therefore not able to participate effectively. It was further revealed in the study that Academic Staff in Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori and Capt. Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola, Port-Harcourt respectively, rarely had opportunities to attend international conferences. Based on the findings, and the inference drawn, it is recommended that both Polytechnics should step up the training and re-training of their academic staff for improved and effective performance.
