Abstract

The study was designed to assess the level of participation of senior academics in human resource development activities in the South-East Universities in Nigeria. A stratified simple random sampling technique was used to compose a sample size of 430. This represented 30.7% of the senior academic staff population of 1400 of the universities in 2008/2009 as obtained from the list of the universities in the five states of the South-East Geopolitical zone of Nigeria. A self constructed questionnaire was validated, tested and with reliability co-efficient of 0.82 used for the study. One research question and two hypotheses guided the study. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics (z-test and analysis of variance). It was found that senior lecturers participated more in human resource development activities than readers and professors. The result also indicated that male and female academic staff differed significantly in their participation in human resource development activities.
