This paper presents the findings of the existing university infrastructural facilities (i.e. water supply, electricity supply, office facilities, faculty buildings, laboratory facilities and toilet/convenience facilities) in a representative sample of staff satisfaction with workplace facilities in the School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure Nigeria. Published literatures have been analysed to review knowledge areas pertaining to workplace facilities and their contributions to organisational high productivity. Various workplace facilities evaluated in this study have been analysed to identify major areas of challenges for the faculty staffs’ satisfaction. A user satisfaction survey was developed to obtain the staffs’ qualitative feedback on their experience and satisfaction with the facilities provided in the faculty. The findings of the survey were analysed and reported to describe the level of satisfaction with the identified performance requirements for the workplace facilities. The main purpose of conducting the study was to determine whether or not the facilities provided at the workplace by the organisation provides the needed satisfaction to the working staff for optimum performance. This paper is of practical value to employers of labour whether private or public sectors, educational institutions, staff and students whose performance of duties are tied to the available facilities. University administrators involved in the provision of infrastructural facilities in the workplace should ensure that the provision and up-keep of the workplace enhancement requirements presented in this paper are properly addressed in the system.
The paper appraises the maintenance practice and residents' satisfaction of public housing estates in Osogbo, Nigeria with a view to encouraging best practices and adequate maintenance strategies in a proposition to preserving the existing housing stock and enhanced maintenance of public estates in the study area. One Hundred and Five (105) questionnaires were distributed among the residents of two (2) residential estates and 97 questionnaires were retrieved, representing 92.40%. Opinion of the Estate Surveyors and Valuers was also sought on the factors affecting maintenance in public housing estate. Analysis was carried out through the use of mean, severity index, cross-tabulation and Chi-Square test of association. It was discovered that there is no statistically significant relationship between maintenance practice and public services alongside infrastructures in the estates. Although, there is a significant relationship between occupants' level of satisfaction with maintenance of public services and infrastructures; the Phi and Cramer's V tests revealed a very weak strength in the association. The paper therefore suggests an integrated maintenance approach for effective upkeep of public estates infrastructures and facilities.
