This study aims to examine the effects of professionalism on the effectiveness of tertiary institution administrators’ job performance. The study employed correlation survey design. One research question and hypothesis guided the study. One thousand and thirty (1030) academic and non-academic staff from eighteen (18) tertiary institutions from Bayelsa and Delta state were randomly selected. A 14 – item questions test called Perceived Level of Professionalism Predictor Relationship to Administrator’s Job Performance Effectiveness Questionnaire (PLPPRAJPEQ) developed by the researcher was employed to gather information for the research. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics like frequency distribution and mean score while the inferential statistics employed the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC), through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. The findings found that professionalism is highly related to administrators’ job performance effectiveness in tertiary institutions in Bayelsa state and Delta. The result implies that an increase in professionalism will result in 23.8% increase in administrators’ job performance effectiveness in tertiary institutions in Bayelsa state and Delta States.
