Work Related Factors and Office and Information Manager’s Performance in Indigenous Organizations in Bayelsa State

Abstract

This study primarily focuses on the examination of the role of some work related factors and office and information manager’s performance. The major factors investigated are: modern computers, information infrastructure, and office interconnectivity in Yenagoa Metropolis. The study employed the descriptive survey research design. Questionnaire was used as the primary instrument for data collection, after which such data was analyzed using simple percentage and the parametric statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Findings revealed that there is a strong relationship between modern infrastructure and employee task commitment, thereby enhancing performance. It is also found that there is an association between automation of information infrastructure and office and information manager’s performance. Finally, it is also discovered that there is a relationship between interconnectivity of systems and office and information manager’s performance. It is, therefore, concluded that work related factors are not necessarily financial incentives alone, which stimulate office and information managers’ performance in indigenous work organizations. The study recommends that management should ensure proper training of office and information managers to acquire the necessary skills for optimal functioning.
