ABSTRACT
The study investigated Job
enrichment variables as correlates of teachers' role performance in early
childhood care education in South East, Nigeria. The study is a correlational
design. Six research questions and six hypotheses guided the study. Eight
hundred and twenty-two (822) teachers were sampled out of a population of 8218
early childhood care education teachers and used for the study. Job Enrichment
Variables Questionnaire (JEVQ) and Teachers' Role Performance Questionnaire
(TRPQ) developed by the researcher were used for data collection. The
instruments were validated by three experts, Cronbach-Alpha reliability method
was used to determine the internal consistency of the instruments. Reliability coefficients of .81
and .90 were obtained for job enrichment variables and teachers’ role
performance respectively. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to
answer the research questions and test the hypotheses at 0.05 significance
level. The result revealed that skill variety, task identity, job autonomy,
task significance and job feedback to a significant positive high extent,
correlates with teachers' role performance in early childhood care education in
South East, Nigeria. The study recommended that teachers should attend capacity
building programmes on skill variety regularly for job enrichment and
enhancement of function in their profession especially on feedback to parents
on pupils’ academic performance. Also, teachers should always protect their job
identity for self-motivation and to facilitate pupil’s performance in early
childhood care education and parents should always demand comprehensive
feedback on the academic performance of their children in order to encourage
teachers on where they need to improve their competence for better academic
performance in schools.
