ABSTRACT

Our study examines the influence of individual and organizational factors on performance of the academic staff in the public Technical Higher Education Institutions in Tanzania. Data were collected using questionnaire from 277 academic staff sampled using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The collected data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regressions. Results indicate that: age, working experience, education level and designation had statistically significant and negative influence on performance. Administrative position had an insignificant influence on performance. Training and development, working environment, incentive and reward had statistically significant and positive influence on performance. The findings advocate that; individual and organizational factors significantly influence performance of academic staff when the mentioned factors are not interfered with administrative and management position.
