Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between resource management and job involvement of university lecturers in the South – South zone of Nigeria. Four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The sample of the study consisted of 578 lecturers selected from a population of 2894 lecturers from 3 universities using stratified proportionate random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a 4-point Likert type scale developed by the researcher and titled “Resource Management and Job Involvement Questionnaire (RMJIQ)†for lecturers. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.75, using the split-half reliability method. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and population t-test statistical methods. The results of the study revealed that lecturers’ perception of human, physical/material and financial resources management significantly correlated with their job involvement. The result of the study further showed that the job involvement of university lecturers was significantly high. Premised on these findings, it was recommended among others that university administrators should adopt strategic planning/ management process in the management of human, physical/material and financial resources and academic staff in Nigerian universities should be adequately motivated so as to enhance their job involvement and commitment to duty.
