dc.description.abstractTeaching effectiveness is a complex area of study without supported by an extensive body of empirical research. Developing effective teaching behaviors is a part of every lecturer in Malaysian higher education institution. With the surge in public demand for accountability in higher education and the growing concern for quality of university teaching, evaluating teaching effectiveness is a very important function in all universities because important administrative decisions could be based on these evaluations. A lecturer's image and personal/professional satisfaction are also based on teaching effectiveness. Therefore, proper evaluation of teaching effectiveness establishes a climate that communicates a commitment to professional improvement and a statement that is expected that each lecturer will make a valuable contribution to the achievement of the goals of the university. This study examined the direct relationship between personality and job characteristics on teaching effectiveness. This study also examined the influence of work experience as a moderator on the relationship between personality, job characteristics and teaching effectiveness. A total of 193 lecturers with their 997 students participated in this study by completing the survey questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses were conducted to test the direct, indirect relationship and also model fit. Findings indicate that extraversion and openness to experience were among the personalities that have a direct impact on teaching effectiveness. Skill variety and feedback were also found to have a direct impact on teaching effectiveness. The findings also showed that work experience had significantly moderated the relationships between extraversion and delivery of information, meaningful interaction and fair treatment. Work experience also moderated the relationship between emotional stability and delivery of information and openness to experience and meaningful interaction. Based on the research findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Limitations and suggestions for future research are also highlighted.en_US
