Abstract
The study examined the effect of shared mission on organizational effectiveness in the banking industry. A total of
388 managers were randomly drawn from a population of 13,339 managers of all the 24 banks in Nigeria. The
instruments used for data collection were questionnaires and oral interview. A total of 320 copies of the
questionnaire were retrieved and analyzed. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Statistical tool was used to test the
hypotheses. The findings revealed that shared mission is significantly related to profitability, productivity and market
share. Based on these findings we concluded that shared mission has significant influence on organizational
effectiveness. We therefore recommend that organizations’ mission should be shared amongst employees to enable
them contribute effectively to the achievement of organizational goals.
Key Words: Shared mission, organizational effectiveness, profitability, productivity, market share
1. Introduction
There is an increasing demand for committed employees who need little or no supervision to carry out their jobs
efficiently for the good of the organization. Employees, who know what to do and desire to do them without being
told, are in high demand. Managers desire an alternative control system that is reliable for the achievement of
effectiveness in the organizations. Organizations need to be productive, profitable and increase their market share
even with the challenge of coping with changes in the environment. Organizations experience poor corporate
productivity, grapple with low profitability; they struggle to maintain their market share, and suffer difficulties in
expanding their market share. They strive for effectiveness and efficiency; the all time basics of all business
problems. The need to achieve their goals has made managers seek for cultural means of motivating employees to be
productive. Whereas structure is important in defining individual responsibilities within the workflow process, a
congruent culture ensures that individuals carry out these responsibilities with minimum resistance. Shared mission
relates to goals that should be pursued. Shared mission can be defined as the reason for the existence of the
organization. It describes the range of activities the organization intends to embark on; what it hopes to achieve.
Several researches on how to improve organizational effectiveness have taken place in the past two decades. The
difference in performance is often related to the strategy adopted by an organization to achieve its objectives. The
mission provides clear direction and goals that serve to define an appropriate course of action for the organization
and its members. The ability to put these goals in place in organization tends to determine the firms success. Mission
has been identified as an important dimension of corporate culture that influences organizational effectiveness
(Gordon and DiTomaso 1992; Denison and Mishra 1995; Denison 1990).
Globalization, information availability (speed and volume) and increased competitiveness have changed the way
organizations function and respond. It exerts pressure on relationship between the leaders and followers. Shared
mission is highly relevant within this context as it can fuel, energize, or derail the change process. People today want
increasing work-life balance and holistic approach to life. Managers in Nigerian banks do not focus properly on
people management issues as they manage through the rules, systems and procedures. Consequently, unrealistic
targets are set and effect on staff feelings and moral climate is often ignored. This results in increased resignations,
poor customer services, unethical practices that lead to poor assets quality and loan losses, faulty recruitment and
placement processes. Over the past decades, a great deal has been written about mission and the important role it
plays in successful performance of organizations (Neilsen, 1972; Calfee, 1987; David, 1989; Denison 1990; Denison
and Mishra 1995; Daft 2003, Denison 2007, Zheng et al 2010, and Nickels et al 2011). Despite this growth of

scholarly publications on shared mission and organizational effectiveness, little empirical evidence exist in
developing countries especially Nigeria. To bridge this gap in literature, this study examines the relationship between
shared mission and organizational effectiveness in the Nigerian banking industry. The purpose of this study therefore
is to examine the relationship between shared mission and organizational effectiveness.
2 Literature Review
Mission refers to the existence of a shared definition of an organizations purpose. Bateman and Snell (1999) defined
mission as an organization’s basic purpose and scope of operations. This means that the mission expresses the reason
for the existence of the organization and the range of activities it intends to embark upon; what it hopes to achieve. It
is often written in terms of the general clients it serves. Depending on the scope of the organization, the mission may
be broad or narrow. In diagnosing culture, corporate mission statements and official goals tend to be the starting
point as they express the firm’s desired public image. Mission defines a meaningful long-term direction for the
organization. A mission provides purpose and meaning by defining a social role and external goals for the
organization. It provides clear direction and goals that serves to define an appropriate course of action for the
organization and its members.
Daft (2003) defined mission, as the overall goal for an organization. To him, the mission describes the
organization’s vision, its shared values and beliefs and its reasons for being. Goals are broad, long-term
accomplishments an organization wishes to attain (Nickels et al 2011). They are very important and need to be
mutually agreed upon by workers and management. They have a powerful impact on the organization (Calfee, 1987;
David, 1989). The ability to put these goals in place in organizations tends to determine the firms’ success. The
mission is also referred to as official goals, which are the formally stated definition of business scope and outcomes
the organization intends to achieve. It defines business operations and may focus on values, markets and customers
that distinguish the organization. It is often written down in a policy manual or annual report. It entails the purpose
and philosophy of the organization. Operative goals explain what the organization is actually trying to do (Perrow,
1967). Operative goals describe specific measurable outcomes and are often concerned with the short-run. Operative
versus official goals represent actual versus stated goals. Both goals are important to the organizations. Official goals
provide legitimacy while operative goals provide employee direction, decision guidelines, and criteria of
performance. A mission statement (or official goals) communicates legitimacy to external and internal stakeholders
(Daft, 2003). The mission describes the purpose of the organization so that people will know what it stands for and
accept its existence. Goals give a sense of direction to organization members. The stated end, towards which
organizations strive, and strategies on how to get there, defines what employees are working for. Goals also act as
guidelines for employee decision-making. Goals provide a standard for assessment. The level of organization
performance, whether in terms of profits, units produced, or number of complaints, needs a basis for evaluation. One
can say that official goals and mission statements describe a value system for the organization while the operative
goals represent the primary tasks of the organization.
Neilsen (1972) identified shared mission and super-ordinate goals as one of the strategies for conflict management in
organizations. He stated that it fosters cooperation among departments. This implies that organizations with strong,
adaptive cultures, where employees share a larger vision for their company, are more likely to have united,
cooperative workforce. Recent studies have shown that when employees from different departments see that their
goals are linked together, they will openly share resources and information. A sense of mission allows an
organization to shape current behaviour by envisioning a desired future state. Being able to internalize and identify
with an organizations mission contributes to both short and long-term commitment to the organization (Denison,
1990). Company survival seems to be the most powerful super-ordinate goal that has improved relationships among
groups in organizations. Success is more likely when individuals and organizations are goal-directed. Denison (1990)
identified three indices for the mission trait – Strategic direction and intent, goals and objectives, and vision. Clear
strategic direction and intent convey the organizations purpose; make it clear how every one can contribute and
“make their mark” in the industry. This is important because it will enable employees to be committed to the
achievement of the organizational goals. It makes employees know what to do to contribute their quota to the
organizations success.
Organizations are created and designed to achieve some end, which is often decided by the chief executive officer
and/ or the top management team. Kotter (1982) stated that “the primary responsibility of top management is to
determine an organizations goals, strategy and design, therein adapting the organization to a changing environment”.
There are two broad schools of thoughts on how the process works: the coalitionists and the top-down theorists. The
coalitionists argued that a firm strategy is the end result of a series of struggles among competing interest groups or

coalitions. By contrast, the top-down theories argue that strategy formulation follows a three-step process, generally
referred to as SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats) analysis. In this process, senior management (1)
examines the environment and assesses the financial, programmatic and other signals- both positive and negative, (2)
Compares these environmental signals with the firm’s strengths and weakness and incorporates the firm’s values into
the analysis; and (3) Selects a strategic direction (Young, 2000).
In line with the top-down theories Daft (2003) stated that the direction setting process typically begins with an
assessment of the opportunities and threats in the external environment, including the amount of change, uncertainty
and resource availability. Top management also assesses internal strength and weakness to define the company’s
distinctive competence compared with other firms in the industry (Snow and Hrebiniak, 1980). The next step is to
define overall mission and official goals based on the correct fit between external opportunities and internal
strengths. Specific operational goals or strategies can then be formulated to define how the organization is to
accomplish its overall mission. A clear set of goal and objectives can be linked to mission, vision and strategy and
provide everyone with a clear direction in their work (Denison, 1990). The organization has a shared view of desired
future state- the vision. It embodies core values and captures the heart and minds of the organizations members while
providing guidance and direction.
Effectiveness is a broad concept and is difficult to measure in organizations (Daft, 2003). It takes into consideration a
range of variables at both the organizational and departmental levels. It evaluates the extent to which the multiple
goals of the organization are attained. Organizations are large, diverse and fragmented and tend to perform many
activities simultaneously with various outcomes (Weick and Daft, 1982). It is difficult for managers to evaluate
performance on goals that are not precise or measurable (Blenkhorn and Gaber, 1995). However, performance
measurement that is tied to strategy execution can help organizations reach their goals (Rose, 1991). Daft (2003) has
identified two major approaches to measurement of organizational effectiveness – the traditional and contemporary
approaches. The traditional approaches include the goal approach, the system resource approach and the internal
process approach. The goal approach to organizational effectiveness which this study considers is concerned with the
outputs, whether the organization achieves its goals in terms of its desired level of outputs (Strasser et al., 1981). It is
based on the fact that organizations have goals they are expected to achieve. This means that this approach identifies
the organization’s output goals and assesses how well they have been attained. The approach tends to measure
progress towards attainment of goals. It is based on the fact that organizations have goals they are expected to
achieve. Hall and Clark, (1980) argue that the important goals to consider are the operative goals and not the official
goals. The official goals tend to be abstract and difficult to measure while the operative goals reflect the activities
the organization is actually performing. The goal approach is used in business organizations because output goals can
be readily measured (Daft, 2003). Top managers can report on actual goals of the organization since such goals
reflect their values (Pennings and Goodman, 1979). Once goal are identified, subjective perceptions of goal
achievement can be obtained if quantitative indicators are not available.
Profit has been defined as the money a business earns above and beyond what it spends for salaries expenses, and
other costs (Nickels et al, 2011). Profit is one of the major reasons for venturing into business. Profitability
therefore, means a state of producing a profit or the degree to which a business is profitable. Profitability is the
primary goal of all for-profit business ventures (Amah, 2006). Without profitability the business will not survive in
the long run. Conversely a business that is highly profitable has the ability reward its owners with a large return on
their investment. According to Thompson and Strickland (2001:9, 42):
“Achieving acceptable financial result is crucial… Achieving acceptable
financial performance is a must, otherwise the organization’s financial standing
can alarm creditors and shareholders, impair its ability to fund needed initiatives
and perhaps even put its very survival at risk”.
This makes measuring current and past profitability and projecting future profitability a very important issue.
Profitability has been identified as criteria for organizational effectiveness by many authors (Friedlander and Pickle,
1968; Child, 1974 and 1975; Negandhi and Reimann, 1973; and Maheshwari, 1980). Profitability reflects the overall
performance of for-profit organizations (Daft, 2003). It is therefore an important parameter for business managers as
it can show how well they are performing. Managers tend to look for ways to change their business to improve

profitability. Profitability seems to be one of the most important tasks of business managers (Amah, 2006).
Companies are evaluated by their level of profitability.
Productivity is basic to organizational effectiveness. Productivity can be defined in two basic ways, the most
familiar is labour productivity, which is simply output divided by the number of workers, or more often by the
number of hours worked (Nasar, 2002). Productivity is defined by Amah (2006) as “the measure of how efficiently
and effectively resources (inputs) are brought together and utilized for the production of goods and services (out
puts) of the quality needed by society in the long term”. This implies that productivity is combination of performance
and economic use of resources. High productivity indicates that resources are efficiently and effectively utilized and
waste is minimized in the organization. Productivity balances the efforts between different economic, social,
technical and environmental objectives (Amah, 2006). High productivity provides more profit for investors and
promotes the development of the enterprise. Productivity measurement indicates areas for possible improvements
and shows how well improvement efforts are fairing. It helps in the analysis of efficiency and effectiveness. It can
stimulate improvement and motivate employees (Prokopenko, 1987).
Productivity is related to the concept of efficiency. While productivity is the amount of output produced relative to
the amount of resources (time and money) that go into the production, efficiency is the value of output relative to the
cost of inputs used. Productivity is expressed in terms of cost for a unit of production; “units produced per
employee” or “resource cost per employee” (Daft, 2003). Productivity improves, when the quantity of output
increased relative to the quantity of input. Efficiency improves, when the cost of inputs used is reduced relative to
the value of output. Efficiency refers to the accomplishment of goals with minimum resources or waste. It includes
measures such as time minimization, cost minimization and waste minimization. Speed and time are important
resources, organizations seek to maximize speed and minimize time. The way they do these indicates how efficient
and productive they are.
Market Share refers to the company’s sales as a percentage of the sales in its target market (Czinkota et al, 1997).
This means that in strategic management and marketing, market share is the percentage or proportion of the total
available market or market segment that is being serviced by a company. It can be expressed as a company’s sales
revenue (from that market) divided by the total sales revenue available in that market. It can also be expressed as a
company’s unit sales volume (in a market) divided by the volume of units sold in that market. Market share (or
brand share) is the share of overall market sales for each brand. Market share can be quoted in terms of volume (e.g.
the brand has a 10% share of the total number of units sold) or in terms of value (Czinkota et al, 1997). According to
Czinkota et al (1997), the measure of share and concept of prospects are important because they describe the extra
business that a producer can reasonably look for, and when to obtain it. Increasing market share is one of the most
important objectives used in business. The main advantage of using market share is that it abstracts from industry-
wide macro environmental variables such as the state of the economy or changes in tax policy. According to the
national environment, the respective share of different companies changes and hence this causes change in the share
market value; the reason can be political ups and downs, and disaster, any happenings or mis-happening.
Market share has the potential to increase profits. Small market share increases, mean very large sales increases.
Studies have shown that, on average, profitability rises with increasing market share (Kotler and Armstrong, 2009).
Because of these findings, many companies have sought to expand market shares to improve profitability. Kotler and
Armstrong (2009) argue that higher market shares tend to produce higher profits only when unit costs fall with
increased market share, or when the company offers a superior quality product and charges a premium price that
more than covers the cost of offering higher quality. Market share is important because it enables one to know the
strength of the organization whether they are leaders or minor players and also if the organization is still holding,
gaining or losing share of its target market (Kotler, 1999). According to Kotler and Armstrong (2009), organizations
need to protect their current business against market attacks while trying to expand by first, fixing weaknesses that
can provide opportunities for their competitors, second, keeping costs down and its prices in line with the value the
customers see in the brand, Third, by continuous innovation and finally by increasing its competitive effectiveness
and value to customers. From the foregoing the following hypotheses were derived.
The research hypotheses are:
Ho1: There is no significant relationship between shared mission and profitability.
Ho2: There is no significant relationship between shared mission and productivity.
Ho3: There is no significant relationship between shared mission and market share.

3. Research Methodology
This correlational study was conducted as a cross-sectional survey. The study units for data generation were
managers in the banks and the micro-level of analysis was adopted. The population of the study was 13, 339
managers of all the 24 banks in Nigeria and the sample size of 388 managers was determined using the Yaro
Yamen’s formula (Baridam, 2001). After cleaning, 320 copies of the instrument were used for the analysis. In
selecting the respondents the simple random sampling technique was adopted. The independent variable, shared
mission has the following dimensions; strategic direction and intent, goals and vision. A nine-item mission scale was
developed for this study based on the Survey of Organizations questionnaire, which was also used by Denison
(1990). The dependent variable, organizational effectiveness was measured by profitability, productivity and market
share. . A five-item profitability scale was developed for this study. A two-item productivity scale and a seven-item
market share scales were also developed for the study. They all used a 5-point Likert scale- (ranging from 1-
strongly disagree to 5-strongly agree). For test of reliability of the scale, the following Cronbach’s alpha coefficients
were obtained: Shared mission (0.70), Profitability (0.72), Productivity (0.76), and Market share (0.73). In
accordance with Nunnaly (1978) model, which recommends a bench mark of 0.70, the reliability levels of the study
scale are acceptable Spearman’s Rank Correlation Statistical tool was used to test the hypothesis. The results as
presented were obtained
4. Research Results and Findings
Frequencies and descriptive were used in our primary analysis which focused on the study demographics and
univariate analysis respectively. The results show that 57.1% of the respondents were males while 42.9% were
females. 23.8% of the respondents have spent 0-9 years on their jobs while 30.6% have spent between 10 and 20
years. 46.6% of the respondents have spent over 20years on their present employments. On educational qualification,
we had the following distribution: 60.3% HND/B Sc., 39.7% Masters. 23.1% were single while 76.9% were
married. The result of the univariate analysis is shown in Table 1. The mean scores (x) obtained for Shared mission
in Nigerian banks is weighty (x= 3.99). This means that employees in the banks have a high level of shared mission.
They are therefore committed to their banks. The mean score of profitability (x= 4.40) also shows that the high level
of shared mission in the banks is associated with the high level of profitability. In other words, the high level of
shared mission among the employees, have led to a high level of profitability in the banks in Nigeria. The mean
score of productivity (x=4.24) also shows that the high level of shared mission in the banks have positively impacted
on the banks level of productivity. Similarly, the mean score of banks market share is high (x=3.9) as a result of
employees’ level of shared mission which may have enhanced customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers help to
advertise their respective banks leading to increase in market share.
4.1 Hypothesis One: Relationship between Shared Mission and Profitability
This hypothesis states, “There is no significant relationship between shared mission and profitability”. The
hypothesis sought to examine the relationship existing between shared mission and profitability. The Spearman’s
rank correlation coefficient statistical tool was used to test the hypothesis. The result (Rho = 0.216 P < 0.05) (see
Table 2) shows that there is significant positive relationship between shared mission and profitability. This means
that profitability will increase with increase in shared mission among the employees in the banks studied.
4.2 Hypothesis Two: Relationship between Shared Mission and Productivity
“There is no significant relationship between shared mission and productivity”. The hypothesis sought to examine
the relationship between shared mission and productivity. Again, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient
statistical tool was used to test the hypothesis. The result (Rho = 0.125 P< 0.05) (see Table 3) shows that there is
positive relationship between shared mission and productivity and the relationship is significant. This implies that
the more employees share the organization’s mission, the more their productivity will increase in the Nigerian banks.
4.3 Hypothesis Three: Relationship between Shared Mission and Market Share
The third hypothesis states, “There is no significant relationship between shared mission and market share”. The
hypothesis sought to examine the relationship between shared mission and market share. The Spearman’s rank
correlation coefficient statistical tool was used to test the hypothesis. The result (Rho = 0.127 P< 0.05) (see Table 3)
shows that there is positive significant relationship between shared mission and market share. This means that an
increase in shared mission is positively associated with increase in market share in Nigerian banks.
From the results we have the following findings (1) employees in Nigerian banks have a high level of shared
mission (2) the high level of shared mission is associated with the increase in the banks’ profitability (3) the high
level of shared mission is associated with the increase in the banks’ productivity and (4) the high level of shared
mission is also associated with the increase in the banks’ market share.

5. Discussion and Implications
The discussion of the findings will be done in relation to the hypothesis tested.
7 5.1 Hypothesis One: Relationship between Shared Mission and Profitability
We found that there is significant positive relationship between shared mission and profitability in the banks studied.
This finding confirms an earlier report of Denison and Mishra (1995) that mission is correlated with return on
investment. Mission refers to the shared definition of an organization’s purpose. It provides a clear direction and
goals that serves to define an appropriate course of action for the organization and its members. Bateman and Snell
(1999) defined mission as an organization’s basic purpose and scope of operations. Mission has powerful impact on
the organization (Calfee 1993; David, 1989). The ability to put these goals in place in organizations tends to
determine the firm’s success. In other words, success is more likely when individuals and organizations are goal-
directed. The impact at the organizational level may stem from the coordination that results from defining a common
goal as well as the definition of objective, and external criteria. Both factors seemed to have a positive effect on
performance.
The stated end, towards which an organization is striving, and the strategies on how to get there, tells employee what
they are working for. Goals provide a standard for assessment. The level of organization performance, whether in
terms of profits, units produced, or number of complaints, needs a basis for evaluation. Thus, official goals and
mission statements describe a values system for the organization. This implies that organizations with strong,
adaptive cultures, where employees share a larger vision for their company, are more likely to have united,
cooperative workforce. Studies have shown that when employees from different departments see that their goals are
linked together, they openly share resources and information (Neilsen 1972). Being able to internalize and identify
with an organization’s mission contributes to both short and long term commitment to the organization (Denison,
1990). Company survival and growth, which are the most powerful super-ordinate goals, tend to have improved
relationships among groups in banks. Success is more likely when employees are committed to the achievement of
the bank goals. Mission makes employees know what to do to contribute their quota to the organization’s success.
Most banks ensure their employees know their mission and know what to do to contribute their quota to the success
of the organization. This could lead to increased profits and reduced number of complaints from customers. The
mission culture is characterized by emphasis on a clear vision of the organization’s purpose and on the achievement
of goals such as sales growth, productivity and profitability. Kotter (1982) stated “the primary responsibility of top
management is to determine an organization’s goals, strategy and design, therein adapting the organization to a
changing environment”. Management shape behaviour, by envisioning and communicating a desired future state for
the organization. Mission embodies core values and captures the heart and minds of the organizations members while
providing guidance and direction. Mission culture tends to reflect a high level of competitiveness and a profit-
making orientation (Daft 2003). Thus mission is significantly related to profitability. People tend to work towards the
achievement of a mission they share in. From our interviews we realized that banks in Nigeria have captivating and
compelling visions and missions that employees are aware of. They have vision to be at the top in Nigeria and Africa
and to be among the best in the world. They also have mission to satisfy their customers and shareholders. This
vision and mission propel employees and management to work hard and this result in effectiveness. Thus appropriate
corporate mission promotes organizational effectiveness.
5.2 Hypothesis Two: Relationship between Shared Mission and Productivity
We found that there is significant positive relationship between shared mission and productivity. This implies that
increase in shared mission is associated with increase in productivity in the banks studied.
A mission provides purpose and meaning by defining a social role and external goals for an organization and
defining roles with respect to the organizational role. Through this process, behaviour is given intrinsic, or even
spiritual, meaning that transcends functionally defined bureaucratic roles. Denison (1990) argued that this process of
internalization and identification contributes to short and long-term commitment and leads to effective performance.
This is in line with our finding that mission is significantly and positively related to productivity. It is possible for
employees that are goals directed to use resources efficiently and effectively, minimize waste in the organization.
Goals tend to motivate employees to be more productive. When employees are aware of the organization’s goals,
they tend to be committed towards the achievement of such goals. Operative goals provide employees direction,
decision guidelines and criteria for performance (Daft, 2003).
The stated end, towards which an organization strives and the strategies to get there, tell employees what they are
working for. When employees know what they are working for, they tend to be more focused and motivated towards

achievement. This in turn improves productivity. Goals provide a standard for assessment. Employees with goals to
achieve tend to be more productive than those with no definite goals to be achieved. Denison and Mishra (1995) also
reported that mission is correlated with productivity. Neilsen (1972) identified shared mission and super-ordinate
goals as one of the strategies for conflict management in organizations. He stated that it fosters cooperation among
departments. This implies that organizations with shared mission are more likely to have united, cooperative
workforce. A workforce that is cooperative tends to be more productive than one that is saddled with conflict. The
banks are characterized with cooperation amongst members and this has positively influenced their effectiveness.
5.3 Hypothesis Three: Relationship between Shared Mission and Market Share
We found that there is significant positive relationship between shared mission and market share. This implies that
increase in shared mission is associated with increase in market share in the banks studied. Organization’s mission
defines its business operations and may focus on values, markets and customers that distinguish it. It entails the
purpose and philosophy of the organization. Operative goals explain what the organization is actually trying to do
(Perrow, 1967). Operative goals describe specific measurable outcomes and are concerned with the short-run. If the
mission includes increasing the organization’s market share, the tendency is that all hands will be on deck to achieve
it. Most banks have increase in market share as part of their goals; this has made them embark on all forms of
promotion and marketing to achieve just that.
Some people are employed to market the organization and its various products. Such people are promoted based on
the deposits they have brought to the bank. In Nigeria, banks use a lot of target setting, which is related to goals and
mission, and this has also influenced the increase in their market share. It is therefore correct, as the study has
proven that mission is positively related to market share. In the banks employees tend to know what is expected of
them as regards the achievement of the organization’s overall mission. All the banks tend to have goals and
objectives that are both clear and reasonable. Shared mission enable different functions and units in organizations to
work together well to achieve common goals. Shared mission tend to provide the direction and control that is
necessary to manage the rapidly growing banks. High value for customers shared by employees tends to make the
banks have more satisfied customers who have impacted on their increase in market share.
6. Conclusion and Recommendations
8 The study on shared mission and organizational effectiveness reveal that first, success is more likely when
individuals and organizations are goal directed. Having strong mission changes behaviour by forcing people to
monitor their current behaviour against a preferred future state. Second, shared mission increases employees’
commitment towards the achievement of organization’s goals. Third, positive association between shared mission
and profitability as established by the study is applicable to work organizations the world over including African
based organizations like the ones that make up our study population. Fourth, the results also reveal that shared
mission impacts on organizational productivity and market share. Finally, we conclude that shared mission impact on
organizational effectiveness.
It is therefore recommended that management should let their employees share in the organization mission so that
they can effectively contribute to the achievement of the mission. To be highly productive organizations need to have
shared mission and vision that is expressed in the policies and practices of the management. To have a large market
share the banks need to be responsive to their customers through their employees. Managers will have less work of
supervision to do in organizations where there is high level of shared mission. It is suggested that further research on
shared mission and organizational effectiveness should be carried out in other sectors of the Nigerian economy to
compare with what has been revealed in the banking sector. The study could also be carried out in the banking
sector of European countries whether some cross-cultural comparisons may reveal some better processes and
practices of mission-led organizations in the banking sector.
7. Limitations of the Study
The fact that this is a study of the banking industry, limits the extent to which generalizations of any outcome of this
study can be applied to all other sectors and industries in the Nigerian economy.
