The study was guided by four research questions three objectives and three null hypotheses. The study reviewed 10 empirical studies. The study was anchored on Yutchman and Seashore’s (1967) System Resource Theory on Organisational Effectiveness. The study used cross-sectional survey research design. The total population of the study consisted of 4,014 teachers drawn from 57 public senior secondary schools in FCT, Abuja. The sample size of this study consisted of 802 teachers drawn from 22 public senior secondary schools using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Selfdeveloped instrument called ‘Questionnaire on the Influence of Physical Facilities Utilization and maintenance on Teachers’ Performance in Public Senior Secondary Schools in FCT (TQIPFUMTP)’ was used for data collection.

The instrument was pilot tested on 30 teachers and the coefficient of internal consistency of 0.80 was obtained. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s Product^ Moment Correlation (PPMC) at 0.05 level of significance. The major findings of the study “ * showed that the frequency of physical facilities utilisation in FCT senior secondary schools is low, there is a significant relationship between physical facilities utilisation and teachers’ job performance in FCT senior secondary schools and there is a significant relationship between physical facilities maintenance and teachers’ job performance in FCT senior secondary schools. The study recommended that the FCT Secondary Education Board need to sensitize principals on the dangers of non-frequent use of physical facilities. Such sensitization could be carried out through seminars, conferences and workshops at the beginning or end of every academic session so that the available physical facilities could be used on frequent basis to enhance teachers’ job performance. vi
