POSTGRADUATE COLLEGE STAFF DIGITAL COMPETENCE AS A PREDICTOR OF LECTURERS' JOB SATISFACTION FOR SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION

Abstract

Lecturers' job satisfaction is germane to the growth of an organisation. From experience, lecturers derive satisfaction when their desires are met. Despite that, some lecturers are not delighted. Researchers have worked on some factors, but much work has not been done on postgraduate college digital competency. Thus, a bid to determine lecturers' job satisfaction led to this study.  The study employed a descriptive survey research design, as well as Total Population Sampling Technique (TPST) on a population of one hundred and seventy-one (171) respondents but one hundred and twenty (120) copies of the instruments were retrieved. With a quantitative research approach, the study's content was used as the basis for generating items for the instruments which were used to give answers to the research questions raised and the hypothesis poised and having a reliability score of 0.907. Sections A and B of the structured questionnaires were measured using frequency, mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to determine the significant relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that lecturers at Lead City University Postgraduate College, Ibadan are very satisfied with their jobs. There is also a positive relationship (r = 0.612) between postgraduate college staff digital competence and lecturers' job satisfaction. It is suggested that the postgraduate college staff should identify and develop themselves in the use of specific application software to effectively carry out their tasks towards lecturers' job satisfaction in the institution.
