Author: Akeem A. Adekunle

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between employee value proposition and work etiquettes compliance among public secondary school teachers in Education District III of Lagos State, Nigeria. Based on the purpose of the study, three research hypotheses were tested at .05 confidence level. A descriptive correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised all the 2829 teachers in the 66 public senior secondary schools in the district as at the time of this study. The sample size comprised 350 teachers selected using stratified and Proportionate sampling techniques. A self-developed, validated and reliable (r = .70) 20 items instrument titled ‘Employee Value Proposition and Teachers’ Work Etiquettes Compliance Questionnaire’ (EVPTWEQ) was used to generate data for the study. Data collected were analysed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics, and the results of the analysis showed that significant relationship existed between each of the indicators of employee value proposition studied (compensation system, capacity building programme and work-life balance) and teachers’ work etiquettes compliance. The study concludes that healthy employee value proposition is sine qua non to teachers’ positive work behaviour. It was recommended that teachers’ compensation should be more attractive, there should be continuous professional development programmes for teachers and school administrators should encourage family friendly school environment.
