| Summary: | The idea of entrepreneurship in the public sector was a paradox from different scholars,
previous studies on entrepreneurship hubs around private sector organizations until when
public administration began to experience a shift of paradigm to a new public Management
then public entrepreneurship start to gain more recognition. The financial crisis and economic
meltdown prompt other countries in the world and Africa to join western countries in fine
tuning other means of financing public services. The Nigerian public sector was observed to
be ineffective due to inadequate fund and economic mismanagement. The Nigerian
government understands the importance of tertiary institution in the provision of education
and device different policies and legislation to improve its performance yet little success was
recorded. Government alone cannot handle education; therefore the needs of entrepreneurship
in public tertiary institutions became Imperative. The primary concern of this study was to
examine the effects of good governance on entrepreneurship and organizational performance
of the public tertiary Institution. This study uses the primary source and obtained data from
160 academic administrators, The Partial lease square PLS (SEM) was used for the analysis.
The finding proves good governance was instrumental to entrepreneurship and effective
performance of the public tertiary institution in Nigeria and contributes in terms of the
theoretical and practical implications. |
