Childhood & Primary Education Studies) in the
College, 30 respondents (male and female
Lecturers) were proportionally selected. The study
used „Provost Grievance Management Strategies

shows low concern for self, high concern for others
and generosity in dealing with grievance to some

for self and others and exercise give and take
measure to reach acceptable decision can facilitate
Lecturers‟ effectiveness in the College, provost that

finds better time for those involve in grievance will
improve and encourage Lecturers‟ effectiveness in

was recommended among others that the Provost in
all Colleges of Education in the Country should be
knowledgeable enough to understand all the
grievance management strategies as the situation
will dictate which strategy is to be used during
grievance, since the result of this finding does not
see one strategy to be better than others, and that
Provost should always deem it fit to adequately and
effectively utilize the integrating, obliging,
compromising, dominating and avoiding grievance
management strategies, since they go a long way in
achieving Lecturers‟ effectiveness in the College.
