Abstract: No entity operates in isolation but within an environment which can make or mar the performance of individuals in the entity. This study examined work environment and academic staff performance in Federal Polytechnics operating in South West, Nigeria. The study made use of survey designed which made it possible to have assessed thoughts, opinions, and feelings of participants through structured online closed ended questionnaire. 6 Federal Polytechnics with 2,358 academic staff total population was targeted for the study. However, 342 sample size was determined and proportional distributed based on the population. Data collected were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that there is significant difference in the research outputs of the federal polytechnics. However, there was no significant difference in the teaching effectiveness of academic staff in the federal polytechnics. Another finding reveals academic staff involvement in community service is significantly different. The hypotheses tested revealed that physical work environment contributes to academic staff performance, and non-physical work environment contributes academic staff performance. The study concludes that the physical work environments in the federal polytechnics requires improvements to enhance academic staff performance. The study recommends that academic staff, management, and government affiliated with these federal polytechnics should play their roles adequately to evolve highly competitive polytechnic system.
