Abstract

This study sought to assess the relationship between strategic control practices and employee performance in Private universities in Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey research design to explore the relationship between strategic control practices and employee performance using private universities in Nigeria as a case study. The population of the study comprised one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-two (1,932) staff. Primary data used for the study were gathered through a well-structured questionnaire administered to 331 respondents selected through the probability sampling technique. It was found that there was a significant relationship between strategic control practices and employee performance in private universities. This assertion was premised on the fact that the p-value of the z-statistics computed for strategic control practices of 0.0310 was less than the critical value of 5% with a significance z-statistics of 2.16. Effective strategic control practices must be put in place in these universities to be able to link strategic plans with performance. It was safe to assert that strategic control practices SCPwere sufficiently significant on employee performance in private universities.
