PUBLIC RELATIONS AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIAN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING
Journal Title: INFORMASI - Year 2018, Vol 48, Issue 2
Abstract
Organizations’ internal publics, which generally comprises two categories of personnel, namely management staff and employees constitute some of the key elements that contribute toward realizing the goals and objectives of the organization. However, unlike non-academic organizations, institutions of higher (academic) learning have two additional categories of internal publics — academic staff and students. This makes such institutions a bit unique. Public relations (PR) as a management function and tool is utilized by the management between itself and all categories of internal publics to facilitate smooth information dissemination and communication for enhanced job performance. Hence, a unique type of PR practice capable of addressing the characteristic needs of the academic staff (who are directly involved with the students) in addition to those of the non-academic staff will be required. A critically review of extant literature surrounding the impacts of the practice of PR on job performance among employees of Nigerian institutions of higher learning was performed. Additionally, critical intra-organizational PR media capable of addressing the characteristic and specific needs of the overall and specific internal publics were underscored and some policy recommendations offered. This article concludes that effective PR (a PR practice that addresses both the comprehensive and specific needs of the various classifications of internal publics) enhances job performance and productivity.
