The study examines the throughput of part-time teaching and employees’ efficiency based on the level of responsibilities assigned across the tertiary institutions in Calabar, using the University of Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria, as a case study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population for the study was 2154 employees of these institutions in Calabar. A sample of three hundred and thirty-seventy (337) employees was drawn from the population and served as respondents to the survey. A total of 330 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and used for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to determine their frequencies, percentages, and central tendencies. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient model was adopted in the data analyses, and the hypotheses were tested with a calculated R-value of 0.221*, which is greater than the critical R-value of.095 at a 0.05 level of significance with 328 degrees of freedom at a 0.05 degree of significance. The result shows a fluctuating throughput with respect to the number of responsibilities attached to a full-time lecturer who engages in part-time jobs within and outside the institution. The study reveals that for enhanced productivity, organizations must apply appropriate leadership styles by monitoring the level of responsibilities an individual lecturer on part-time carries, and a proper enumeration of finances should be reviewed with proper training and development to improve working conditions, commitment, and efficiency, thereby enhancing the employee’s efficiency.
