Dr Charles Mulandi Zakayo "Casualisation of University academic labour and its effect on University Performance in Kenya. A case of Universities in Nakuru County – Kenya" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-2, February 2018, pp.390-402, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd6985.pdf

Development of any Country is pegged on the quality of its higher education. In Kenya, some decades ago, Quality was embraced in all Universities through vigorous vetting of programs offered. Programs were matched with existing quantity and competency of lecturers to run such programs. With increased demand of higher education in Kenya and Universities establishing many satellites campuses without considering availability of required facilities and sources of qualified teaching staff, quality of higher education may have been compromised. This prompted the researcher to establish the effects of part-time lecturers on the academic performance of Kenyan Universities. The specific objectives of the study were:- To establish the effects of part-time turnover rate on performance of the University, to examine the effect of part-time teaching staff service delivery on University performance and to examine the effects of part-time teaching staff competencies on University performance. To achieve this, the researcher adopted descriptive research design. The target population was all the nine Universities in Nakuru town. The targeted respondents were the 37 heads of departments (HODs) in these Universities. The study adopted a census survey technique. The data collected with questionnaires was analyzed by the help of descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of ‘SPSS’ a statistical Package for Social Sciences. The finding showed turnover (r=.688, a=0.001), Service delivery (r=.803, a=0.01) and Competence (r=.688, a=0.001). This indicated positive correlation between part-time teaching and University academic performance. Results of Multiple regression analysis were:-turnover (ß=0.134), service delivery (ß=O.600) and competence (ß=0.170) which further, indicating relationship between part-time teaching and University performance.
