Abstract

Background of study: This study explores the impact of administrative responsibilities on lecturers’ job effectiveness within a private university context. Increasing institutional demands have broadened lecturers' roles to encompass not only teaching and research but also mentorship, academic record-keeping, and result collation. These additional responsibilities are crucial for academic accountability but have raised concerns regarding their influence on performance and workload.

Aims and scope of paper: The research aims to examine the relationship between administrative duties—mentorship, record-keeping, and result collation—and lecturers’ job effectiveness at Al-Hikmah University. The scope of the paper includes the analysis of how these responsibilities influence overall job performance, specifically focusing on lecturers’ productivity and engagement in their academic roles.

Methods: A descriptive correlational survey design was used for this study, involving 152 lecturers selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a validated and reliable instrument. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation were employed to analyze the collected data.

Result: The study found that lecturers performed mentorship, record-keeping, and result collation responsibilities at moderately high levels. Job effectiveness was also moderate, with administrative workload impacting research productivity and lecture preparation. Significant positive correlations were found between each administrative responsibility and job effectiveness, suggesting that engaging effectively in these tasks enhances performance.

Conclusion: Administrative responsibilities are essential to lecturers' roles and can positively influence job effectiveness when adequately supported. This study contributes conceptually by identifying the specific administrative duties that shape job performance and methodologically by providing a validated instrument to assess lecturer workload. The paper recommends the enhancement of digital systems, balanced workload allocation, and improved administrative support to optimize lecturer effectiveness
