One of the most pressing problems facing the IHL in Nigeria remains the severe shortage of employees. This situation has led to the increasing culture of visiting lectureship where the few available talents are recycled as visiting, adjunct, sabbatical and contract lecturers to work in many institutions at the same time. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to seven institutions selected for the study. A structured questionnaire was developed using the Linkert scale and was distributed to 382 employees of the institutions randomly selected. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data and test the hypothesis and relationships of the model. The researcher used PLS Model because the study involves testing a theoretical framework from a predictive perspective and requires latent variables scores for follow-up analysis. ER -
