Abstract
This study investigated the extent to which boosting of staff morale, staff empowerment and team building
served as a strategy for ensuring effective management of tertiary education for global competitiveness in
Nigeria. Quantitative research design was used for the study. Seven public tertiary education institutions
in Kwara State were purposely selected for the study. The view of 330 lecturers and 21 school managers
were sampled through stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The population of this study
comprised of 3,600 academic staff in public tertiary education institutions in Kwara State. Sample of 330
lecturers and 21 school mangers were selected with the use of Research Advisor (2006) table to determine
the sample size of a known population. A self-designed questionnaire titled “Human Resource Development
for Global Competitiveness Questionnaire” (HRDGCQ) was used to collect information for the study. The
data collected were analyzed using t-test statistical analysis. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of
significance. The result revealed that there was no significant difference between the boosting of staff
morale, staff empowerment, teem building and management of tertiary education for global
competitiveness. It was recommended that effort should be made by government to continue boosting staff
moral by providing conducive environment, proper support of staff, as well as participation of staff in
organizational decision making. Staff empowerment should also be part of government priorities in the
management of tertiary education. Furthermore, government and school administrators should encourage
team building among lecturers so as to enhance effective management of tertiary education for global
competitiveness in Nigeria.
