| dc.description.abstract | Ideally, the success of a university depends on the productivity of its academic staff. However, sometimes academic staffs are not optimally productive due to several factors. Busitema University is not any different. Therefore, this study sought to establish the relationship between resource policies and productivity of academic staff in Busitema University, Uganda. The study was guided by nine objectives relating physical, human and financial resource policies to teaching, research and community service productivity of academic staff of Busitema University. It was a co- relational, cross-sectional survey design. One hundred and twenty eight members of teaching staff constituted the sample of the study. The researcher used self-administered questionnaires mainly in collecting the data. Data analysis was based on percentages and other descriptive statistics such as means and standard deviations. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to correlate concepts of resources policies with productivity of academic staff. The results revealed that physical, human and financial resource policies had positive significant relationship to teaching, research and community service productivity of academic staff. The conclusions were that physical, human and financial resource policies were highly positively related to teaching, research and community service productivity of academic staff. The researcher recommended that physical, human and financial resource policies should balance institutional and staff needs to enhance teaching, research and community service productivity of academic staff. | en_US |
