Abstract

This study examined the effect of quota system recruitment on the performance of Benue State University, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. Specifically, it assessed the influence of merit–quota balance, skill–job matching, and political interference on institutional performance. The study was anchored on Organizational Justice Theory as proposed by Jerald Greenberg (1990). A survey research design was adopted, with a study population of 699 staff of Benue State University, Makurdi, from which a sample size of 254 respondents was drawn. Data were collected using an adapted questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was employed for data analysis with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27. The findings revealed a strong positive association between quota system recruitment and the performance of Benue State University, Makurdi. Further results showed that the quota system recruitment dimensions merit–quota balance, skill–job matching, and political interference have significant effects on the university’s performance.
