EMPLOYEE RESOURCING STRATEGIES:udIMPLICATIONS FOR JOB PERFORMANCE AND PERCEIVEDudCORPORATE IMAGE IN SELECTED NIGERIAN PRIVATEudUNIVERSITIES

摘要

Employee resourcing strategies are fundamental to the survival and sustainable development ofudany organisation in the face of increasingly competitive business or academic environment. Thisudstudy examined the resultant effects and level of relationship that exist between constructs ofudemployee resourcing strategies, job performance and corporate image in some selected privateudUniversities in Southwest Nigeria. To accomplish the goals of the study, a total of 500 copies ofudquestionnaire were administered to the academic staff of the six (6) selected private Universities,udout of which four hundred and forty-three (443) were retrieved and analyzed. Stratified and simpleudrandom sampling techniques were used to select the respondents for this study. Descriptive andudinferential statistics such as Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Linear Regression,udStructural Equation Model (AMOS 22), Mean and Standard Deviation were used for the analyses.udThe results show significant relationships between the employee resourcing strategies, jobudperformance and University' corporate image variables. The results also indicate that humanudresource planning strategies have significant effects on brand image at F= 151.277, df= 442, sig.udat 0.000. Meanwhile, employee recruitment strategies have positive significant effects on researchudimage at F= 17.047, df= 442, sig. at 0.000. On the other hand, the relationship between employeeudselection strategies and corporate reputation was positive at a correlation of 0.250, df= 442, sig. atud0.000 and sig. at 0.01 level (2-tailed). Similarly, the result shows that there is positive significantudrelationship between employee retention strategies and corporate identity at a correlation of 0.325,uddf= 442, sig. at 0.000 and significant at 0.01 level (2-tailed). It is therefore recommended thatudUniversity management should develop employee resourcing strategies that are linked withudUniversities overall strategy to achieve their institutional goals.
