This study investigated the influence of teaching culture on effectiveness of public university management. Ex post facto design was adopted. One hypothesis was isolated to give direction to this study. 3487 academic staff made up of the population, while 1047 subjects drawn from 4 universities, using stratified random sampling technique made up the sample. Data collected was carried out using an instrument called “teaching culture and effective public university management questionnaire” which was developed, validated and used for the study. Data collected were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and its associated fishers’ LSD multiple comparison test. Results obtained indicated that teaching culture had significant influence on effectiveness of public university management in terms of goal attainment, facilities management, staff management and students’ management. It was concluded that teaching culture determines the effectiveness of public university management in south-south Nigeria. based on the findings, requisite recommendations were articulated.
