Abstract
Nigerian educational system is beckoned with numerous challenges hampering its effective goals achievement. The differences in value attached to educational programmes and its practices can be seen to be one of these challenges. This study examines the perceived impact of acquisition of moral values on staff job performance in secondary schools in Makurdi Education Zone of Benue State, Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study while two hypotheses were formulated and tested. Descriptive survey design was employed for the study. The population of the study comprised 2,178 staff from 89 grant-aided secondary schools in Makurdi Education Zone of Benue State. A sample of 218 staff from 15 grant-aided secondary schools drawn through random sampling technique was used for the study. A 15-item questionnaire titled “Moral Values and Staff Job Performance Questionnaire (MVSJPQ)” was developed, validated and used for data collection. The reliability coefficient of 0.81 was established using Cronbach alpha. Mean scores and standard deviations were used to answer the three research questions, while chi-square test was used to test the three null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that acquisition of moral values has significant impact on staff job performance in secondary schools particularly in the areas of students’ discipline, and evaluation. Based on the findings of the study it was recommended among others that stakeholders in education should reorganize teachers training institutions to capture moral value development so that they will be equipped with the societal moral values that help them do their jobs with conscience and honesty in order to positively reshape learners, the society and the nation at large. |
