This study investigated the impact of staff age on perceptions of vice chancellors' resource management in Bayelsa State public universities, employing a descriptive survey design with a sample of 1,382 employees (30% of the 4,606 population) selected through proportionate stratified random sampling, utilizing a validated 15-item questionnaire (SPRVMVUQ); the research revealed significant variations in staff ratings across age groups (27–70), with the 38–48 age group consistently providing higher mean ratings, as confirmed by a statistically significant ANOVA result (F=31.629, p<0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and supporting the alternative that age significantly influences perceptions, further detailed by post-hoc Scheffe tests; notably, certain questionnaire items regarding transparency, infrastructure, and leadership style were not uniformly accepted across age groups, indicating varied interpretations; ultimately, the study concluded that staff age is a crucial factor in evaluating vice chancellors' resource management, necessitating that universities acknowledge these age-related perceptual differences and adapt management practices accordingly
