Abstract
Abstract
Teaching hospitals in Kwara State, Nigeria, face challenges in managing payroll, impacting financial
performance and employee satisfaction. This study examined the impact of electronic accounting payroll
systems on the performance of University Teaching Hospitals (UTHs) In Kwara State. Using a survey
design, data collected from 178 respondents, including auditors, accountants, ICT staff, and senior
employees, through closed-ended questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and
standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Ordinary Least Square regression analysis) to estimate all
the hypotheses. Results showed that accounting payroll systems and web-management payroll systems (β =
0.040, p = 0.000; β = 0.071, p = 0.000) significantly influence UTHs performance in Kwara State, while
payroll internal control systems do not (β = 0.420, p= 0.367). Therefore, the study concluded that
accounting payroll system and web-management payroll system are good predictors of performance of
UTHs in Kwara State, Nigeria. This implies that the more robust and efficient these payroll systems are,
the better the performance of the hospitals. Whereas, the current internal control systems in place for
payroll may not be effectively contributing to the performance outcomes of these hospitals. The study
recommends UTHs in Kwara State to invest in and continue using electronic accounting and web management payroll systems to enhance performance and sustainability.
