(iv). Productivity and Performance.
Time management in the school environment increases productivity. With higher focus on projects and timelines employees will find more efficient ways to complete tasks. Also employees who have a hard time in finding solutions for completing tasks will seek help sooner instead of later. Employee Performance will increase as a result of increased productivity.
(v). Developing Employees
Practicing good time management helps staff perform better at his job because he less likely to feel the stress and pressure of bumping up against important deadlines. Leaders who are strong at managing time will have the ability to schedule the rights tasks with the right time frames. Also leaders can make sure that their employees understand that tasks are expected to be completed and without excuses. These can actually train and developed staff at the same time. The new employee will learn the process along with what are the expectations of a leader. The extra time given to developing colleagues will have a positive impact on the entire school. Time management philosophy tends to x-ray the importance and appropriate utilization of time as a resource in accomplishing organization objectives and goals. Managing time appropriately leads to achieving results easily with limited resources (Ugwulashi,2012).
(d) Human Resources
Human resource constitutes a vital vein of any institution. The human resource in the school system includes teachers, support staff in the school, students, parents, community members and a host of other interest and social groups. Human resources is responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating, controlling, manipulating and maintaining other forms of resources, its administrative and forecasting ability placed it ahead of other forms of resources. The availability of human resources is not only required in school administration, but their quality and quantity must be considered if effective and efficient administration is to be guaranteed. According to Likert (2013) all activities of any institution are initiated by the persons that make up that institution. Plant, offices, computer, automated equipments and all inputs that an institution uses are unproductive except for human effort and direction.
Elwood and James (2014) observed that in governing human resources three major trends are typically considered, they include:
a. Demographics. The characteristics of a population/workforce for example age, gender or social class. The type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offering, insurance packages etc.
b. Diversity The variation within the population/workplace changes in the society now mean that a larger proportion of organization is made up of “baby boomers or old workers in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of workplace divert advocates an employee base that is a minor reflection of the make- up of the society in so far as race, gender, sexual orientation etc.
c. Skills and Qualification: As industries move from manual to more managerial profession, so does the need for more highly skilled graduates. If the market is tight (i.e. not enough staff for the job) employers must compete for employees by offering financial rewards, community investments etc. Every aspect of an institution’s activities is determined by the competence, motivation and general effectiveness of its human resource. It is noteworthy that the quality of human resources in any educational system determines to a great extent the quality of the system itself and professional staff in particular are crucial to the formulation and successful implementation of the education policies and programmes in any country. (Nakpodia,2010).
Concepts of Teachers’ Productivity
• The teacher’s
• The importance of teacher
• The use of the teacher to the society
• The teacher productivity
The Teacher’s
A teacher (also called school teacher or, in same is and education) is a person who helps other to acquire knowledge, competences or values.
• Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as writing the family, (home schooling) rather than in a formal setting such a school or college.
• Formal teaching of students is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach other in a formal education context, such as at a school or other place of initial formal education or training is the contribution a teacher make to students learning rather than the absolute level of students learning in active.
This is the level of effectiveness of the teachers in impacting adequate knowledge to students. It is an unquantifiable concept this context the students learning outcome services as measures of teacher’s productivity.
