Abstract This study examines the correlation between organizational culture and performance of employee in service industries in Delta Central, Delta State Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted. The population comprised 5 hotels selected randomly with a total population of 51 employees and a sample size of 45 was equally obtained by Taro Yamane’s technique. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Data collected were subjected to correlation co-efficient statistical tool and mean standard deviation analysis. Based on the analysis, the three (3) variables of organizational culture-people orientation, team orientation and aggressiveness are significant predictors of employee performance. The co-efficient of the variables are positive and significant (PO.04<0>0.05). Therefore, the study concluded that organizational culture has a significant positive effect on employee performance in service industries (hotels). Based on this, the study recommended that service industries should generate culture that support teamwork with emphasis on enhanced communication in order to influence attitude, opinion, beliefs and reduced attitude of self centeredness. Again, since team orientation has positive correlation with employee performance, management should also pay attention to recognition and financial rewards for performing team. Service industry management should also pay attention to team and individual aggressiveness since it has strong positive relationship with employee performance in service industry.

Abstract The study examined the application of expectancy theory in the State Civil Service Commission of South-South Nigeria. The objectives of the study are to determine the relationship between the performance and reward, and if the reward of the staff is based on the performance. Two hypotheses were tested and research questions also analyzed. Using random sampling technique, 180 respondents were selected as sample size. 180 copies of questionnaire were designed and administered for the collection of data and the chi-square statistical tool used for the analysis. The findings revealed that there is no positive relationship between performance and reward and that there is no significant difference between the employee that is well motivated and the demotivated. It was also discovered that the promotion of staff is based on length of years, zoning formula and passing recommended examination not performance or input. Based on the above, we recommend that the idea of anchoring promotion on zoning formula, length of years and passing qualifying examination is deleterious to the system and should be rejected vehemently, but rather think on reward system that is linked to effort in order to encourage hard work and enhance effective performance in the States Civil Service.

Abstract The study aimed at determining the effect of skill acquisition on poultry farming industry in Delta State. We have a population of 102 from the selected 7 poultry farms in the area under study which as well comprises employers, employees and casual workers of the selected farms. Hypotheses were tested with correlation coefficient (r) tool. Sample size was determined with Taro Yamene formula; hence, 83 sample size was obtained. The instrument used for data collection was both structured and unstructured questionnaire. Unstructured instrument was employed for the sake of those that could not read, hence, face-to-face method of discussion was ideal. Pearson Product Moment (PPM) correlation coefficient (r) was equally adopted for data analysis. In line with the analysis, it was observed that strong positive relationship exist between experience of poultry farmers and farming industry, While indifferent (negative) correlation was revealed between knowledge and farming industry because a higher value was obtained for the critical value than the calculated value (0.75 > 0.52). The study concluded that experience positively affect poultry farming industry. The study recommended that farmers should employ or hire experienced poultry farmers for impartation of more experience through mentoring and tutoring. They are also advised to seek counsel from professionals for knowledge and skill acquisition to enhance sustainability in poultry farming industry, exposing them to conferences is equally suggested.

Abstract The purpose of the study was to ascertain if there is a significant relationship between performance appraisal and employee commitment and also to differentiate if performance appraisal significantly influences organizational sustainability. The population comprises 69 respondents from the selected 10 transport service company workers in Edo and Delta State. The hypotheses were formulated and tested using t-test tool. An unstructured questionnaire was used (direct interview) for the 50 respondents sampled out by using a random sampling technique. Based on the results of the analysis, it was revealed that an insignificant relationship exists between employment commitment, organizational sustainability and performance appraisal. In order words, there is no significant positive relationship between the dependent and independent variables. It also suggests that a higher critical value of 2.447 was obtained compared to the calculated values of 0.20 and 0.53 of the two hypotheses tested respectively. The study recommended that the service industry should imbibe the culture of performance appraisal exercises to strengthen employee commitment. Again, managers and directors of service companies should be fair in their performance appraisal exercise (PAE) without fear or favour in order to enhance sustainability in the transport industry.

Abstract This paper focused on creativity as a predictor of entrepreneurship orientation among indigenous entrepreneurs in South-South Nigeria. The research design for this study is the survey research design. The population of the study covered 240 indigenous entrepreneurs selected across the six states of south-south region of Nigeria. The researcher however used the Taro Yamene method to determine the sample size; hence 183 indigenous entrepreneurs were selected from the population. The data used in this study was generated from two major sources namely; primary sources and secondary sources. The major instrument for data collection was a five point likert scale questionnaire titled creativity and entrepreneurship orientation questionnaire (C and EOQ). A reliability index of 0.95 (95%) was obtained which shows that the instrument of the study is highly reliable. The statistical tool used for data analysis in this study is t-test using the 20.0 version of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and the following results were obtained for hypotheses one, two and three respectively (0.05>0.001, 0.05>0.000 and 0.013<0.05).The study concludes that the entrepreneurship orientation of indigenous entrepreneurs in south-south Nigeria can be understudied through a cursory and closer study of their creativity. Sequel to this conclusion, this paper recommends that government agencies both at the federal and state and all other entrepreneurship stakeholders should help in the development of the skills of the indigenes especially during early education stages. This will help government effectively map the creative capacities of her indigenes with the intent of providing entrepreneurship development programmes that are consistent with their creative capabilities.

Abstract The study examined the effect of organizational climate on employee performance in selected manufacturing firms in Delta state, Nigeria. The population consists of manufacturing firms registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and that have put in about three years in the manufacturing industries. The study randomly picked 15 manufacturing firms in the state and purposive sampling technique was equally adopted to get a sample size of 81 respondents .The questionnaire was administered and promptly responded to by the respondents.77 copies (95%) were returned and Pearson correlation and simple linear regression technique were employed for data analysis and hypothesis testing at 5% level of significance. It was observed that Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.998 and 0.885 were obtained for leadership and job satisfaction respectively (high positive correlation with performance).Conversely, correlation coefficient of 0.547 was equally obtained for communication variable, indicating low significant relationship with performance. Based, on the analysis, the results showed significant positive relationship between leadership, job satisfaction and performance. On the contrary, there is no significant relationship between communication and performance. Therefore, the study conclusively infers that leadership and job satisfaction influences performance in manufacturing firms, and that communication is negatively influenced in manufacturing industries. The study therefore recommends that transparent leadership that enhances workers participation and contribution in decision making should be encouraged.
