Social Constructs of Population Health and Organizational Sustainability: A Study of Selected Federal Universities in Nigeria

Abstract

Physical and mental health contribute to organizational competitiveness and economic prosperity. Sadly, the knowledge of population health has remained underappreciated among Nigeria’s Federal Universities. To bridge this gap, this study evaluated the link between social constructs of population health and sustainability of Nigeria’s federal University. To achieve the study intent, the descriptive survey method was utilized. The population of this study comprised senior and junior staff that were randomly selected from federal universities, which was 11,823 staff. Formulated hypothesis was tested using Pearson product moment correlation. The analysis shows a positive relationship between population health determinants and sustainability of Nigeria’s federal universities with r = 0.591, n = 387 and p = 0.001 against P ≤ 0.05, thereby making the coefficient significant.
