Abstract:
This study examines labour conflict management and performance of federal universities in South East of Nigeria. The objectives of this study are, among others, to determine the relationship between constant upward review of wages and quality of teaching in federal universities in South East, Nigeria. The study was guided by four research questions and hypotheses. Descriptive survey design was adopted with a population of 11025 staff of the institutions under study, from where a sample size of 386 was obtained using Taro Yamane formula. The data was obtained from primary sources through the administration of structured questionnaire. The data collected were analysed using simple percentage, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Z-test and One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS, version 23). The findings from the study reveal, among others, that there is a significant relationship between constant upward review of wages and quality of teaching in federal universities in South East, Nigeria. To this end, the researcher recommends that government should ensure that salary increment and constant payment of earned allowances to workers is institutionalized. This will help to cushion the effects of inflation and rising cost of living on the real income of workers. Also, it was recommended that government should consider it imperative to increase - on a percentage basis - funding for the education sector from the national budget. The additional funding advocated for can be obtained if the government muster the political and administrative will to block all loophole in the management of our public finance.
