The sample size of the study was 433 respondents selected from the population. Closed-ended structured questionnaire was used to source for primary data. The copies of questionnaire were issued by hand. Cronbach’s Alpha and Composite Reliability Coefficients were used to measure the reliability of instrument. Data was processed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings showed that recognition, work environment, training and job satisfaction have positive significant effects on academic staff performance. The study revealed that job satisfaction mediated the relationship between recognition and academic staff performance. The study also found that job satisfaction mediated the relationship between work environment and academic staff performance. But job satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between training and academic staff performance.
