Abstract

The study was conducted to endeavor the relationship between workload and performance for
Bangladeshi university teachers. Workload has been assumed to be independent factor having
three sub-categories: time spent in teaching, administrative activities and co-curricular
responsibilities. Teaching performance was the dependent variable having three sub-categories:
quality of teaching delivery, quality & quantity of research & training and implementation of
new technology in teaching. 250 teachers from different categories of fifteen universities were
chosen as participants through convenience sampling. Pearson’s correlation and regression
analysis had been carried out to find the relationship between the variables. It was revealed that
most independent variables are positively and strongly correlated with the dependent variables
except time spent on teaching & implementation of new technology and administrative activities
& implementation of new technology which are negatively correlated. The study indicates that to
perform better, workload management should be appropriate and adjusted. The study will
hopefully help the university management, academic researchers and trainers to formulate and
implement an effective workload management system.
