Abstract

This study investigated knowledge and utilization of management information system among nonacademic staff within the university system in Ogun State, Nigeria. Two research hypotheses were
tested for this study. The survey research design type was adopted for the investigation. A stratified
sampling strategy was employed to choose a sample size of 360 non-teaching staff members from
Tai Solarin University of Education and Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye for this research.
A self-structured research tool called the "Knowledge of Management Information System
Questionnaire (KMISQ)" was utilized in the study. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation
Coefficient (r) and t-test statistical tool were used to test hypotheses 1 and 2 respectively. Findings
revealed a significant positive relationship between knowledge and utilization of MIS and the
performance of male and female non-teaching staff (r = 0.565, p < 0.05), indicating that enhanced
MIS competence contributes to better job performance. Additionally, a significant difference was
found in MIS knowledge between senior and junior staff (t = 2.690, p = 0.007), with senior staff
demonstrating higher levels of MIS knowledge. The study concludes that knowledge and effective
utilization of Management Information Systems (MIS) play a crucial role in enhancing the
performance of non-teaching staff in educational institutions. Based on these findings, the study
recommends regular MIS training for all staff and targeted capacity-building programs for junior
staff to bridge the digital knowledge gap.
