is study explored the correlation between staff marital status and their perceptions of vice chancellors' resource management in public universities within Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Employing an analytical descriptive survey design, the research examined data from a sample of 1,382 employees across three universities, proportionally stratified from a total population of 4,606. The findings revealed a significant variance in resource management evaluations among different marital status groups. Notably, single staff members consistently reported mean rating scores above the 2.50 cut-off across all evaluated items, indicating a generally positive perception. Married staff also demonstrated favorable ratings, albeit with slightly lower scores on two specific items. The study concludes that marital status significantly influences staff perceptions of resource management effectiveness. Consequently, it suggests that university administrators should consider the demographic factor of marital status when formulating and implementing resource management strategies to ensure inclusivity and optimize outcomes
