Abstract |
Educational institutions depends on students records to make sound decisions about students� performance. Despite their importance, some educational institutions seem not to pay adequate attention to management of student records. This is evidenced by high incidence of file mutilation and missing records. While studies have examined various factors that could be associated with these challenges, few examined self-efficacy. Hence, the study investigated the extent to which self-efficacy influence student records management practices in selected universities in South-West Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 1,094 registry personnel in universities in South-West Nigeria. The sample size of 380 was determined using Taro Yamane�s formula. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the respondent. A self-structured and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. Cronbach�s Alpha coefficient for the construct ranged from 0.70 to 0.89. A return rate of 77% was achieved. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential (simple and multiple regression) statistics. Findings revealed that self-efficacy influenced student records management practices in South-West Nigeria university registry (R2 = 0.118, β = 0.344, t(291) = 6.230, p < 0.05). This study concluded that personnel self-efficacy are critical to the management of student records. The study recommended that the management of the university registries should enhance self-efficacy of registry personnel by providing them with training opportunities.
