ABSTRACT

The study examined ethnic and gender inclusive strategies as predictors of students’ citizenship behaviours in University Of Uyo. The study was guided by six research questions and six hypotheses. A correlational survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised thirty-one thousand four hundred and twenty-seven (31427), 400 Level students in University of Uyo, Uyo. A sample size of ninety four (94), 400 Level students obtained using a multistage sampling technique was used for the study. The researcher developed

instruments was used in collecting data for the study. The instrument was titled “Institutional Inclusive Strategies and Students Citizenship Behaviour Questionnaire (IISCBQ)”.The instrument was structured using a four point scale and duly validated by three experts in the Faculty of Education, University of Uyo. Cronbach Alpha statistic was used to obtain a reliability coefficient of 0.89 for the IISCBQ respectively. Regression analysis statistic was used in answering the research questions and in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the combined effect of ethnic and gender inclusiveness significantly predicted

students’ citizenship behaviour in the University of Uyo. However, inclusive support programmes did not significantly predict students’ citizenship behaviour in the University of Uyo. It is concluded that the findings of this research have illuminated the significant roles that inclusive celebration strategies, specifically those related to ethnicity, gender, and leadership play in predicting students’ citizenship behaviour at the University of Uyo. It was recommended among others that the University management should actively organize and promote ethnic-inclusive events that reflect the cultural diversity of the student body to foster mutual respect and responsible behaviour among students. These events should be integrated into the academic calendar and supported with adequate resources to ensure wide student participation.
