The return to scale constitutes a significant investment index in the determination of
the quantum of resources that are deployed in investment decision on workers’
continuing professional development. Such investment decision is always predicted
on the expected outcomes to the individual, institution and the society in context.
Several investments in the development of human capacity on the job have been
made, but the return to scale of such seems not to have been positively correlated with
the quantum of resources invested in terms of productivity and performance among
workers in most universities. This paper thus found out that, given the commitment
and policy instrument to avail workers the rights of continuing professional
development, the multiplier effects do seem evident in diligence, commitment,
honesty, dedication, productivity and improved performance on the job among most
administrative staff in universities. This author therefore concludes that, given the
policy on the rights of workers to get trained on-the job, the outcomes of such training
must reflect on the overall performance index, otherwise, institutions should carry out
a forensic analysis of the types of continuing professional development programmes
that workers participate in, whether or not, they are consistent with the vision and
mission of the institutions in terms of economies of scale of workers’ professional
development to the individual, institution and the nation.
Keywords: Continuing, Professional Development; Economies of Scale; Worker’s
Education; Administrative Staff.
