摘要：This paper examined the relationship between human resource utilization and internal efficiencyin Nigerian state universities. It was a descriptive survey research. Stratified random sampling techniquewas adopted for selecting 6 out of 12 state-owned universities. Also, 572 lecturers were sampled fromHumanities and Science Faculties of the institutions. They responded to "Human Resource Checklist"(HRC) and "Internal Efficiency Checklist" (IEC) designed by the researchers and validated by experts in thefield of educational management. Student¨CTeacher Ratio, Refined Cohort Wastage Rate and GraduationRate were used to answer three research questions raised in the study. Pearson product-momentcorrelation statistic was used to test the formulated research hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Thestudy revealed over-utilization of teachers, low wastage rate with a mean of 23%, and high graduationrate with a mean of 85%. Also, there was a significant relationship between human resource utilizationand internal efficiency in Nigerian state universities (calculated r-value= .347 > critical r-value =.06, p <.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others,that the universities should employmore lecturers in humanities (Faculties of Arts, Business and Social Sciences/Management Sciences andEducation) and sciences (Faculty of Science) in order to reduce the workload of the existing lecturers inthese discipline
