Firm Attributes and Environmental Disclosure of Energy Corporations in Nigeriaijtsrd
The study investigated the relationship between firm attributes and environmental disclosure among energy corporations in Nigeria. The research utilized a causal comparative research design, focusing on energy corporations listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group NEG from 2013 to 2022. The sample included nine quoted firms primarily operating in the oil and gas, utility, and natural resource sectors. Secondary data from annual reports and financial statements of selected energy firms were used, and the Multiple Linear Regression Approach established the causal relationship between firm attributes and environmental disclosure. The findings revealed that larger and older firms faced challenges in providing detailed environmental information due to operational complexity and established reporting practices. However, firm leverage did not significantly impact environmental disclosure. The study offers valuable insights for enhancing environmental reporting and transparency among larger and older firms to meet stakeholder expectations and promote sustainability. Policymakers can utilize these findings to devise regulatory frameworks and incentives encouraging better environmental disclosure and fostering sustainable practices in the energy industry and beyond, ultimately positioning companies as leaders in the pursuit of a sustainable and profitable future.

Effect of Board Structure on Sustainability Disclosure of Listed Building Mat...ijtsrd
The study examined the effect of board structure on sustainability disclosure of listed building material firms in Nigeria. Board structure was proxy using board shareholding, board independence, board female representation and board meetings while the sustainability disclosure was proxy using sustainability disclosure index. The ex post facto design was adopted and the data for the study was collected from the annual reports and accounts of the 6 building material firms listed under Industrial Goods Sector of the Nigerian Exchange Group as at 31st December 2018 spanning from 2012 2018. OLS Regression Model was used in the data analysis and the results of the study show an insignificant and positive association between board independence, board female representation, board meeting and sustainability disclosures of listed building material firms in Nigeria at 5 significant level. Board shareholding on the hand was found to have an insignificant and negative relationship with sustainability disclosures at 5 level of significance. Thus the study recommends among all that regulators and policy makers should encourage firms’ directors that are owners to ensure that their position does not discourage the need for accountability to other shareholders so that sustainability disclosure is improved. Also, the study highlights the need to consider female board of directors when appointing firms board members. There should be policies that require firms to nominate women as board members. Their presence should equally be considered by investors and other stakeholders as female board members favour greater orientation towards stakeholders and social issues by influencing disclosures on sustainability activities.

DOES TASK ENVIRONMENT MODERATES ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE? EVIDENCE FROM THE...IAEME Publication
This study empirically evaluates the moderating effect of task environment on the
organizational performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study ascertains
the extent of relationship between the bargaining power of suppliers and firm
productivity and as well accesses the extent to which bargaining power of competitors
affect firms competitive advantage. A descriptive survey design method was adopted
and a self-administered closed-end questionnaire was used to sift data from
respondents who were management and non management staff of ten selected
manufacturing organizations in southeastern Nigeria. A sample size of 499
respondents was drawn from the population. The finding revealed that there is a
significant positive relationship between bargaining power of suppliers and firms’
productivity. The study also found that bargaining power of competitor has a
significant positive effect on manufacturing firms’ competitive advantage. In lieu of
these findings, the study recommendations that manufacturing firms should be
committed to maintaining a cordial relationship with their suppliers and avoid
possible conflict in both short and long-run. Further, manufacturing firms are also
advised to be more strategic in managing their competitors. This can be achieved
through the advancement of blue ocean strategy
Determinants of Business Performance in the Nigerian Manufacturing Sectorijtsrd
This study examines the determinants of business performance in the Nigerias manufacturing sector. The study was necessitated by the perceived declining performance of the Nigeria manufacturing sector. Secondary data covering the period 1980 2018 were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria. The model's estimates were estimated via multiple econometric model of the ordinary least square to ascertain the effect of macroeconomic variable Financial intermediation, Infrastructure, Market size, Exchange rate, Interest rate and Inflation rate on the business performance in the Nigerias manufacturing sector. From the result of the OLS, it was observed that financial intermediation, infrastructure and market size have a positive impact on manufacturing sector while exchange rate, interest rate and inflation rate have a negative impact on manufacturing sector in Nigeria. From the regression analysis, the results also show that all the variables conform to the a priori expectation of the study. With the exception of infrastructure and inflation rate, all other variables are statically significant which indicates that financial intermediation, market size, exchange rate, interest rate are good determinants of business performance in the Nigerian manufacturing sector. The study recommends that the energy sector needs to be overhauled especially the EEDC to supply just the sufficient energy to drive the economy. Painstaking and well coordinated macro economic policies with special references to the price level and exchange rate regime need to be put in place to ameliorate the business sector among others.

Firm Attributes and Environmental Disclosure of Energy Corporations in Nigeriaijtsrd
The study investigated the relationship between firm attributes and environmental disclosure among energy corporations in Nigeria. The research utilized a causal comparative research design, focusing on energy corporations listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group NEG from 2013 to 2022. The sample included nine quoted firms primarily operating in the oil and gas, utility, and natural resource sectors. Secondary data from annual reports and financial statements of selected energy firms were used, and the Multiple Linear Regression Approach established the causal relationship between firm attributes and environmental disclosure. The findings revealed that larger and older firms faced challenges in providing detailed environmental information due to operational complexity and established reporting practices. However, firm leverage did not significantly impact environmental disclosure. The study offers valuable insights for enhancing environmental reporting and transparency among larger and older firms to meet stakeholder expectations and promote sustainability. Policymakers can utilize these findings to devise regulatory frameworks and incentives encouraging better environmental disclosure and fostering sustainable practices in the energy industry and beyond, ultimately positioning companies as leaders in the pursuit of a sustainable and profitable future.

Effect of Board Structure on Sustainability Disclosure of Listed Building Mat...ijtsrd
The study examined the effect of board structure on sustainability disclosure of listed building material firms in Nigeria. Board structure was proxy using board shareholding, board independence, board female representation and board meetings while the sustainability disclosure was proxy using sustainability disclosure index. The ex post facto design was adopted and the data for the study was collected from the annual reports and accounts of the 6 building material firms listed under Industrial Goods Sector of the Nigerian Exchange Group as at 31st December 2018 spanning from 2012 2018. OLS Regression Model was used in the data analysis and the results of the study show an insignificant and positive association between board independence, board female representation, board meeting and sustainability disclosures of listed building material firms in Nigeria at 5 significant level. Board shareholding on the hand was found to have an insignificant and negative relationship with sustainability disclosures at 5 level of significance. Thus the study recommends among all that regulators and policy makers should encourage firms’ directors that are owners to ensure that their position does not discourage the need for accountability to other shareholders so that sustainability disclosure is improved. Also, the study highlights the need to consider female board of directors when appointing firms board members. There should be policies that require firms to nominate women as board members. Their presence should equally be considered by investors and other stakeholders as female board members favour greater orientation towards stakeholders and social issues by influencing disclosures on sustainability activities.

DOES TASK ENVIRONMENT MODERATES ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE? EVIDENCE FROM THE...IAEME Publication
This study empirically evaluates the moderating effect of task environment on the
organizational performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study ascertains
the extent of relationship between the bargaining power of suppliers and firm
productivity and as well accesses the extent to which bargaining power of competitors
affect firms competitive advantage. A descriptive survey design method was adopted
and a self-administered closed-end questionnaire was used to sift data from
respondents who were management and non management staff of ten selected
manufacturing organizations in southeastern Nigeria. A sample size of 499
respondents was drawn from the population. The finding revealed that there is a
significant positive relationship between bargaining power of suppliers and firms’
productivity. The study also found that bargaining power of competitor has a
significant positive effect on manufacturing firms’ competitive advantage. In lieu of
these findings, the study recommendations that manufacturing firms should be
committed to maintaining a cordial relationship with their suppliers and avoid
possible conflict in both short and long-run. Further, manufacturing firms are also
advised to be more strategic in managing their competitors. This can be achieved

Determinants of Business Performance in the Nigerian Manufacturing Sectorijtsrd
This study examines the determinants of business performance in the Nigerias manufacturing sector. The study was necessitated by the perceived declining performance of the Nigeria manufacturing sector. Secondary data covering the period 1980 2018 were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria. The model's estimates were estimated via multiple econometric model of the ordinary least square to ascertain the effect of macroeconomic variable Financial intermediation, Infrastructure, Market size, Exchange rate, Interest rate and Inflation rate on the business performance in the Nigerias manufacturing sector. From the result of the OLS, it was observed that financial intermediation, infrastructure and market size have a positive impact on manufacturing sector while exchange rate, interest rate and inflation rate have a negative impact on manufacturing sector in Nigeria. From the regression analysis, the results also show that all the variables conform to the a priori expectation of the study. With the exception of infrastructure and inflation rate, all other variables are statically significant which indicates that financial intermediation, market size, exchange rate, interest rate are good determinants of business performance in the Nigerian manufacturing sector. The study recommends that the energy sector needs to be overhauled especially the EEDC to supply just the sufficient energy to drive the economy. Painstaking and well coordinated macro economic policies with special references to the price level and exchange rate regime need to be put in place to ameliorate the business sector among others.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

mutuality, that is, the environment exerts pressure on the
business while the business, in turn influences someaspects
of its environment.
Based on the foregoing, Oluremi and Gbenga (2011) assert
that business organizations that want to succeed must
develop a clear understanding of the trends of external
business environment and forces that shape competition.
The understanding in question will enable the organization
to choose the appropriate strategy or strategies that fit the
trends in the business environment arrived at through
environmental scanning analysis with focus onthevariables
such as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat
(SWOT). The dynamic and rapidly changing external
environment in which most organizations compete had
made business environment to have significant impact on
organizational survival and productivity. Ogundele and
Opeifa (2004) submit that external business environment
and their factors helps visualize the analysis of business
survival and growth in an attempttoenhanceunderstanding
of how environmental factors work together with the
variables of business survival and growth to determine the
future of business organizations.
Organizations without exception are environment serving
and environment dependent. The contemporary Nigerian
external business environment is characterized by highcost
of production, low capital utilization, lack of foreign
exchange to source needed inputs, poor power supply, low-
sales, and low quality of goods and services, among others.
These issues have led to lack of proper integration and
coordination of various corporate subsystems in Nigerian
organizations, resulting in the failure to achieve the stated
goals and improve organizational productivity. Thus, the
vagaries and the extremities of the environment affect the
fortunes of organizations.
Similarly, organizations face turbulent and rapid changing
environments that are translated into complex,multifaceted
and interlinked streams of initiatives.Thisturbulenceaffects
work, organizational designs and resource allocation thus
leading to variationsinorganizational productivity.Delaysin
availability of resources,political interferenceandvariations
on the economic situations especially the extreme cases of
recession have been attributed to poor organizational
productivity even with a perfectly formulated strategy.
The existing empirical findings reveal mixed results which
indicated that the relationship between external
environmental factors and organizational productivity is
mixed. For instance, Akpoviroro and Owotutu (2018),
Ontorael and Mawardi (2017), Njoroge, Ongeti, Kinuu and
Kasomi (2016) and Wetende (2014) found that external
environmental factors have impact on organizational
productivity. On the contrary, Nnamani and Ajagu (2014)
found that environmental factors have no significant effect
on organizational productivity. Also no recent studies have
covered oil service firms in Port Harcourt. Hence, this work
examined the effect of external environmental factors on
organizational productivity in selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.
Objectives of the Study
The broad objective of the study is to examine the effect of
external environmental factors on organizational
productivity. The specific objectives of the study include:
1. To ascertain the degree to which technological factors
affect organizational productivity of selected oil service
firms in Port Harcourt.
2. To determine the extent to which political factors affect
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms
in Port Harcourt.
3. To examine the degree to which economic factors affect
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms
in Port Harcourt.
4. To investigate the extent to which socio-cultural factors
affect organizational productivity of selected oil service
firms in Port Harcourt.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
External Environmental Factors
Environment is expressed as the sum total of the external
forces that influences individuals, businesses and
communities (Oginni & Faseyiku, 2012). In the views of
Adebayo et al (2005), environment is summarized as the
surrounding of a phenomenon which from time to time
dictate and shape the direction of businesses. Business
organization does not operate in a vacuum; they operate
within the environment where the production and
distribution of goods and services are carried out.
Environment has been seen as the totality of the factors that
affect, influence, or determine the operations or
performance of a business (Oginni & Faseyiku, 2012). Azhar
(2008) opines that environment is the combination of many
factors both tangible and non-tangible elements that
provides lifeblood support for the organizational success
through provision of market for its products and services
and also by serving as a source of resources to others. The
environment of a business is the aggregation of the pattern
of all the external and internal conditionsandinfluencesthat
affect the existence, growth and development of the
business.
Business environment of an enterprises consist of the
internal and external environmental factors affecting the
performance of business enterprises. The external business
environment is made up extraneous variables or factors
which are outside the control of the organisational
management and cannot bemanipulatedsuchastechnology,
politics, and government legislation. Pearson, Robinson and
Mital (2008) view the firm’s external environmentasfactors
beyond the control of the firm that influences its choice of
direction and action, organizational structure and internal
processes. These factors which constitute the external
environment can be divided into three interrelated
subcategories: factors in the remote environment, factors in
the industry environment, and factors in the operating
environment. In addition are economic, socio-cultural and
physical factors (Oginni & Faseyiku, 2012). The external
environment consists of two further divisions: factors close
to the organisation (micro-environment), and those factors
common to society as a whole (macro-environment)
(Ekpunobi, 2008). Micro-environmental factors might
include such things as the customer base, the location of the
company’s warehouses, or the existence of a local pressure
group that is unsympathetic to the business. The macro-
environment might include such factors as government
legislation, foreign competition, exchange rate fluctuations
or even climatic changes. The external environment is often
not susceptible to direct control; the best that organizations
can do is to influence some elements of it, and to react in the

most appropriate ways to avoid the threats and exploit the
opportunities it presents (Jayaraj, 2011).
Organizational Productivity
Greiling (2007) defines organizational productivity as a
measure of the efficiency of production within organization.
Productivity is a ratio of production output to what is
required to produce it (inputs). The measure of productivity
is defined as a total output per one unit of a total input. Onah
(2010) defines organizational productivity as the
relationship between output of goodsandservicesandinput
of resources, human and non-human, used intheproduction
process. In order words, productivity is theratioofoutputto
input. The higher the numerical value of this ratio, the
greater the productivity. Thus,productivitycan beappliedat
any level, whether for individuals, for work unit, for the
organization. Robert and Tybout (2007) opines that
organizational productivity can be seen as the measure of
the relationship between the quantity and quality of goods
and services produced and the quantity of resourcesneeded
to produce them (that is, factors inputs aslabour,capital and
technology).
Theoretical Framework
This work is anchored on Resource Dependency Theory
formulated by Pfeffer and Salancik in 1978. According tothe
theory, the environment is seen as a source of resources
upon which the organization is dependent. Resource
dependence is affected by munificence, or the abundance of
resources; concentration, the extent to which power and
authority in the environment is dispersed; and
interconnectedness, the number and pattern of linkages
among organizations in the environment. The degree of
dependence would be great when resources are scarce, and
when entities in the environment are highly concentratedor
interconnected. An organization can manage increasing
dependence by adapting to or avoiding external demands;
changing the patterns of interdependence through growth,
merger,anddiversification; establishingcollectivestructures
to form a negotiated environment; and using legal, political
or social action to form a 'created environment.
This theory is relevant to the study in that external
environment is extremely dynamic, globalisation and
incredible technological advances have creatednewchapter
that has reshaped the organizations external environment.
Organizations without exception are environment serving
and environment dependent. A business is influencedbythe
environment in which it operates and the success of any
business is dependent on its ability to adapt to its
environment. The environment is seen as a source of
resources to the organization which the organizations have
no control over.

moderate relationship between competitive and market
environment factors (market segment, strategic customers
and strategic group) and performance of SMEs.
Summary and Gap in Literature
The literature reviewed covered conceptual review,
theoretical framework,andempirical review.Theconceptual
review covers the concept of external environmentalfactors,
political factors, economic factors, socio-cultural factors,
technological factors and organizational productivity. This
work is anchored on resource dependency theory. This
theory is relevant to the study in that external environment
is extremely dynamic as a result of globalization and
incredible technological advances and these has reshaped
the organizations external environment. From theempirical
literatures reviewed above,itisobviousthattherelationship
between external environmental factors and organizational
productivity has not been resolved as a result of conflicting
empirical findings. Majority of the studies on external
environmental factors were foreign and also, no similar
study has been done in the study area. Therefore, there is
need to ascertain the effectof external environmental factors
on organizational productivity in selectedoil servicefirmsin
Port Harcourt.
METHODOLOGY
The study adopted a survey research design. This method
was chosen because it is designed to scientifically describe
phenomena and their relationships in the actual
environment after a given time, given that a survey must
depend instead on samples of respondents drawn from the
population and considered a representative of the
population. The population of study is made up of one
thousand eight hundred and seventy five (1875) employees
of the twenty selected oil service firms in Port Harcourt. The
sample size of the study was 330 determined using Taro
Yamane (1964) formula. This study made use of
questionnaire to generate the primary data for the study
while simple random sampling technique was employed in
selecting the respondents for the study after using Bowley’s
allocation formula to determine the quantitative of
questionnaire to be allocated to each of the twenty
organizations. The study used face and content validity in
the research work while Cronbach’s alpha was adopted to
verify the internal consistency of the construct in order to
achieve reliability. Thirty copies of questionnaire was given
to 30 respondents from two selected oil servicing firms and
their response was gathered and computed with the aid of
SPSS version 21. A Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.722 which is
within the acceptable region was obtained showing that the
instrument is reliable.
The data generated were analyzed using descriptive
statistics. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the
hypotheses formulated exclusively for this study at 5%level
of significance.
The Results of the Regression Analyses
Multiple regression analysis was employed to determinetheeffectoftheindependent variablesonthedependentvariable.The
essence is to ascertain the effect of external environmental factors on organizational productivity.Theresultsarepresentedin

Table 1 above indicates that R2 which measures the strength of the effect of independent variable on the dependent variable
have the value of 0.530. This implies that 53.0% of the variation in organizational productivity is explained by variations in
external environmental factors (technological factors, political factors, economic factors and socio-cultural factors). This was
supported by adjusted R2 of 61.7%. The Durbin-Watson statistics was employed to check for auto correlation in the model.
Durbin-Watson statistics of 2.742 show that the variables in the model are not auto-correlated and are therefore, reliable for
predications.

This shows that technological factors, political factors, economic factors and socio-cultural factors can collectively explainthe
variations in organizational productivity. This shows that external environmental factors have a significant positive effect on
organizational productivity.

Test of Hypothesis One
Hi1: Technological factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.
Table 3 above indicates that technological factors recordeda
t-statistics value of 2.340 with a probability value of 0.001
which is statistically significant at 5% level of significance.
Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected while the
alternative hypothesis is accepted. This implies that
technological factorshavesignificant effectonorganizational
productivity of selected oil service firms in Port Harcourt.
Test of Hypothesis Two
Hi2: Political factors have significant effect on organizational
productivity of selected oil service firms in Port Harcourt.
Political factors recorded a t-statistics value of2.003with an
alpha value of 0.007. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
rejected while the alternative hypothesis is accepted. This
implies that political factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.

Hi3: Economic factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.
Economic factors recorded a t-statisticsvalueof3.580witha
probability value of 0.000 which is statistically significant at
5% level. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected whilethe
alternative hypothesis is accepted. It is therefore concluded
that economic factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.
Test of Hypothesis Four
Hi: Socio-cultural factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in
Port Harcourt.
Socio-cultural factors have a t-statistics valueof2.693witha
probability value of 0.009 which is statistically significant at
5% level. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected whilethe
alternative hypothesis is accepted. It is therefore concluded
socio-cultural factors have significant effect on
organizational productivity of selected oil service firms in

Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, the
following are recommended:
1. Oil service firms should note that the technological
factor in their operating environment has profound
influence on their productionandservices.Thereforeoil
service firms should proactive in dealing with the pace
and trend of invention and advancement in technology
in order keep up with competition.
2. Nigerian government should avoid frequent changes in
government policies and programmes, and ensure
stability of democratic institutions and political
integration. These are necessary to make the political
terrain stable and out of violence for business growth
and development.
3. Government should consistently assess the economic
factors that affect productivity of oil servicing firms.
Proper assessment of economic factors will help to
cushion negative effectofeconomicfactorsonoilservice
firms.
4. Similarly, oil servicefirmsshouldbeconversantwiththe
socio-cultural environment in which theyoperates.This
will help them to understand the social and cultural
factors that can influence their operations.
