dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the relationship between managerial skills (technical, conceptual and interpersonal) of institutional managers and students academic performances in Nigerian Colleges of Education. The research is a follow-up to an earlier one that considered other types of skills and its effect on organizational effectiveness. The study sample consisted of 461 academic staff, from nine Colleges of Education in Nigeria. Managerial Skills, Staff Morale and Work Effectiveness Questionnaire was the basic instrument used. Simple percentages and Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistics were used to test the questions and hypotheses. The study revealed a significant relationship between the technical and conceptual skills with students' academic performance; while there was no significant relationship between interpersonal skills and students' academic performance. Based on the findings, it was recommended that institutional managers should get more engaged with classroom teaching, to use and improve on their technical skills. They should involve staff in policy formulation, decision making, and goal setting to prepare efficient successors to manage the institutions, for improved students' academic performances. Institutional staff should also be exposed to leadership training, to acquire competencies in managerial skills in the bid to enhance institutional performances.
