MODERATING EFFECT OF COMPENSATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB COMMITMENT, TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND LECTURERS’ PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE OF ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY POTISKUM, YOBE STATE

Abstract

The study examines moderating effect of compensation on Job commitment, transformational
leadership and lecturer’s performance of College of Administration, Management and
Technology (CAMTECH) Potiskum. The study is quantitative in nature employing survey
research design as responses were solicited from respondents using random sampling
technique. The data was collected from a sample of 122 out of a population of 177. Structural
equation modeling specifically, PLS was utilised to analysed the data collected. The study
findings revealed that Affective, Continuance, and Normative have no significant effect on
lectures performance. While transformational leadership has positive and significant effect
on lecturer’s performance. Compensation and transformational leadership interact to
strengthen lecturer’s performance. However, compensation did not significantly moderate
the relationship between Affective, continuance, Normative and lectures performance. In line
with these findings, this study recommended that the Government, management of Institutions
and other stakeholders must pay attention on salary and other financial benefits so as to
influence the effect of transformational leadership. This is true considering the fact that most,
if not all, employees accept job opportunities or remain on the job mostly because of the
compensation offered them.
