dc.description.abstractThis study assessed perceived human capital development and productivity initiatives among Nigerian university lecturers. Two research questions were raised and one hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. The researchers employed descriptive survey research design for the study. The population of the study comprised all university lecturers in Nigeria while the target population consisted of all lecturers in Federal universities across South-west and North-central zones of Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used to select South-west and North-central out of the six (6) geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The study sample consisted of 200 respondents that were selected from four Federal universities (University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, University of Ilorin and the Federal University of Technology, Minna) using simple random sampling. Human Capital Development and Productivity Initiatives Questionnaire of 4-point Likert type, developed by the researchers was used to collect information for the study. Reliability coefficients of the instrument, using Cronbach Alpha method of reliability, stood at 0.76 and 0.81 for Human Capital Development and Productivity Initiatives subscales respectively. The research questions were answered using descriptive statistics of percentage and mean, while the hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The findings showed that the level of human capital development among Nigerian university workers was high; the productivity initiatives of Nigerian university workers include attendance of workshops and seminars to improve productivity, publication of research articles with universities, and attendance of national conference; and that there was significant relationship between human capital development and productivity initiatives of Nigerian university workers. It was, therefore, recommended that school management should continue to be alive to the task of ensuring continuous development of their workers, and that university workers should be sensitized on the need to retain and build on the observed productivity initiatives.
