Abstract

The study examined gender influence on job performance amongst business studies teachers in junior secondary schools in Rivers State. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of 39,560 business studies students drawn from 282 secondary schools across the 23 local government areas. A sample size of 1,329 was derived using simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire titled “Gender and Job Performance of Business Studies Teachers Questionnaire” (GJPBSTQ) was used as instrument for data collection. Three experts validated the instrument while Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) was used to obtain the reliability coefficient of 0.78. Two research questions and two null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significant guided the study. A total of 1329 copies of the questionnaire was retrieved and used for the study. The items were rated on four (4) point rating scale; mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions while z-test was used in testing the formulated hypotheses. The findings revealed that gender has no influence on teachers’ job performance. The researchers recommended that opportunities for training and retraining be given to business studies teachers irrespective of gender for efficient service delivery.
