The study used a descriptive research design of correlation type. Moreover, a sample of 384 academic staff was selected using stratified random sampling technique. Two questionnaires titled ‘‘Human Resource Planning Questionnaire’’ (HRPQ) and Organizational Performance Questionnaire (OPQ) were used to collect data from the respondents. The reliability coefficients for HRPQ and OPQ were found to be 0.84 and 0.83, respectively. Three research questions were raised, while four research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive statistic was used to answer the research questions, while Partial Least Square Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via Smart PLS 4.3.2. was used to test the hypotheses formulated at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study indicated that: HRP in the Colleges of Education in Oyo State was high (Grand median value of 3.7). Organizational performance in the Colleges of Education in Oyo State was high (Grand median value of 3.9). There was a significant relationship between HRP and organizational performance in Colleges of Education in Oyo State (β= 0.74, t = 28.88, p < 0.05). The study concluded that effective HRP greatly enhances the organizational performance of Colleges of Education, contributing to the achievement of educational objectives. Moreover, the study recommended to sustain high organizational performance by ensuring an adequate number of qualified staff to meet the rising student enrollment in Colleges of Education across the State.
