Abstract

This study investigated the influence of self-efficacy and knowledge sharing on the job performance of academic staff at selected universities in Ogun State. A descriptive survey was adopted for this study, and a questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The population of the study was 1,381 academic staff from three selected universities in Ogun State. 138 academic staff were selected using a simple random sampling technique. 138 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, and 107 (77.53%) were retrieved and analyzed using frequency count, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The study revealed that the level of self-efficacy of academic staff under study is high; the types of knowledge shared were primarily research reports and teaching strategies; the majority of the academic staff share knowledge for educational purposes; and the level of job performance of academic staff in selected universities is average. The study concluded that the job performance of academic staff is dependent on their self-efficacy and knowledge sharing. The study therefore recommended adequate provision for academic staff to advance their careers and adopt the use of technology as it advances job performance.
