Abstract
The study investigated the extent of fulfillment of employment
responsibilities between the management and employees of PHCN, areas of employment
responsibilities, with a view to ascertaining how this influenced the job performance of
employees of PHCN, Ibadan Zone. The descriptive survey design was used for the
study. A total of 40 management staff and 240 employees were selected using simple
random sampling technique. Data for the study were collected using two instruments
namely “Employment Responsibilities Inventory” (ERI), and Employees’ Job
Performance Scale” (EJPS). The reliability of the instruments was confirmed with the
Cronbach Alpha and Split-half results yielded ERI = 0.82 and 0.76 and EJPS = 0.88 and
0.83 respectively. The data collected were analysed using simple percentage, mean,
standard deviation and t-test statistical analysis. The results showed that provision of
safe working environment (X=3,12, S.D = 0.69) and pay increase to maintain standards
of living (X=2.99, S.D. = 0.77) were the major responsibilities required by the
employees from their management. It was showed that 61.3% of the employees reported
that their management rarely discharged their employment responsibilities to the
workers. Also, it was revealed that there was a significant effect of employment
responsibilities on employees’ job performance (t-test = 128.9, p < 0.05). It thus
concluded that poor fulfillment of employment responsibilities has greatly affected the
productivity of employees of PHCN, Ibadan Zone.
