Abstract
The impact of compensation packages on organisations has continued to draw attention of organizational policy makers and scholars. This study examined the relationship between compensation packages and organizational sustainability in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) between 2014 to 2025. The study was instituted to achieve a specific objective. The Resource-Based View (RBV) was adopted as the analytical guide. The descriptive research design was employed as an approach. The study population comprised 615 managerial, permanent, and contract staff of the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries. A sample size of 242 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane formula, while Bowley’s proportional allocation and stratified random sampling techniques were employed. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire validated by experts, while the instrument yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.87, confirming its reliability. Out of the 242 questionnaires administered, 220 valid copies were retrieved and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27, while Spearman Rank Order Correlation was employed to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that respondents agreed that competitive salaries, performance-based incentives, equitable reward systems, and comprehensive monetary and non-monetary benefits significantly enhanced employee motivation, commitment, retention, and productivity, thereby promoting organizational sustainability. The hypothesis test further revealed a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between compensation packages and organizational sustainability (r = 0.733, p = 0.000), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The study concluded that competitive and equitable compensation packages are essential for improving workforce stability, reducing employee turnover, enhancing productivity, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of NNPCL. The study recommended that NNPCL should periodically review its compensation structure to ensure alignment with industry standards and employee expectations.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effects of financial management consultancy services and strategic planning consultancy services on the growth of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises operating in Kogi State, Nigeria. This study is prompted by problems commonly associated with the operations of SMEs which include poor financial management, ineffective budgeting process, inefficient record keeping practices, lack of credit facilities and inability to plan strategically for growth. In designing this study, the researcher adopted exploratory survey research design. The entire population of study included 725 registered SME owners and managers based in Lokoja metropolis, Kogi State. Taro Yamane formula was used to select a sample size of 258 respondents from the population. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain relevant data. A total of 230 usable copies of questionnaire was retrieved from respondents for further data analyses. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested for before administration. Cronbach’s alpha method was used to measure reliability of the instrument. Alpha value obtained was 0.92. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using simple percentage counts, measures of central tendency and multiple regressions analysis via Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS). Results indicated that financial management consultancy services had a significant positive impact on SME growth. Similarly, strategic planning support services significantly influenced SME growth. Therefore, it could be deduced that consultancy services (financial and strategic) have been found to be effective means of boosting SME growth by promoting financial discipline and clarity of direction among other things. It is recommended that SME owners/managers should use professional consultants for tasks like budgeting, financial reporting, credit management, strategic planning and goal setting.

This study examined the organisational and regulatory factors influencing the adoption of environmental sustainability practices in selected petroleum industries in Southeast Nigeria. The petroleum sector remains economically important, but its operations are associated with environmental concerns that require stronger sustainability responses. A cross-sectional survey research design and quantitative approach were adopted. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to employees and management personnel in selected oil and gas companies. A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed, 392 were retrieved, and 384 valid responses were used for analysis, representing a valid completion rate of 91.4%. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, mean scores and standard deviation, as well as multiple regression analysis. The findings showed high agreement with organisational factors, regulatory factors and environmental sustainability adoption, with mean scores of 4.23, 4.07 and 3.95, respectively. The regression results indicated that organisational factors had a significant positive effect on environmental sustainability adoption (β = 0.45, t = 9.62, p < 0.05). Regulatory factors also had a significant positive influence on adoption (β = 0.37, t = 7.88, p < 0.05). The model explained 58.0% of the variation in environmental sustainability adoption. The study concludes that internal organisational support and consistent regulatory oversight are important for improving sustainability practices in petroleum firms.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between training and organizational performance of manufacturing firms in Rivers State, Nigeria, specifically focusing on how employee skill development and continuous learning influence operational and productivity performance. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the investigation. The accessible population consisted of 580 employees drawn from selected manufacturing firms in Rivers State, from which a sample size of 237 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane (1967) formula. A stratified random sampling technique was utilized to ensure balanced representation across the firms. Data collection was executed using structured questionnaire, yielding 212 validly retrieved copies, which represents an 89.5% response rate. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed as the methods of data analysis. The empirical findings revealed that employee skill development exerts a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship with both operational performance and productivity performance. Similarly, continuous learning has a positive and significant influence on operational performance and productivity performance. Together, these dimensions explain 55.3% of the variance in operational performance and 61.9% of the variance in productivity performance. The study concludes that training is a critical, non-negotiable driver of organizational performance, confirming Human Capital Theory premises that transforming raw labour into highly specialized human assets directly mitigates production inefficiencies. Consequently, it is recommended that manufacturing firms should institute mandatory floor-level workshops focusing on advanced machinery operations and strict quality control protocols.

This study examined the influence of operational strategies on the performance of cooperative societies in Lagos State, Nigeria. Despite the significant contributions of cooperative societies to financial inclusion, employment generation, and socio-economic development, many continue to experience challenges related to governance, technology adoption, and financial management, which affect their overall performance. Specifically, the study assessed the effect of governance structures on members' satisfaction, examined the influence of technology adoption on operational efficiency, and determined the effect of financial management practices on profitability. The study was anchored on the Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory and adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population comprised 370,000 registered cooperative members in Lagos State, from which a sample size of 400 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane formula. Fifteen cooperative societies were purposively selected across the three senatorial districts, and 236 valid questionnaires were used for the analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, particularly regression analysis and ANOVA, with the aid of SPSS version 26. The findings revealed that governance structures had a significant effect on members' satisfaction (R = 0.788, R² = 0.786, p < 0.001), technology adoption had a significant positive effect on operational efficiency (R = 0.698, R² = 0.696, p < 0.001), and financial management practices significantly influenced profitability (R = 0.699, R² = 0.698, p < 0.001). The study concluded that effective governance structures, technology adoption, and sound financial management practices are critical drivers of the performance and sustainability of cooperative societies in Lagos State. The study therefore recommends strengthening governance through transparency and participatory leadership, investing in digital technologies and continuous capacity building, and institutionalizing sound financial management practices to improve member satisfaction, operational efficiency, profitability, and the long-term sustainability of cooperative societies.
