Global Best Practice and Staff Productivity: A Study of the Federal Road Safety Corps Rivers State Sector Command, 2012-2023
Abstract
The adoption of global best practices has become essential for organizational growth and competitiveness in an increasingly interconnected world. This study examined the impact of Global Best Practice (GBP) on staff productivity within the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), focusing on the Rivers State Sector Command. The study primarily sought to examine the impact of training and career development on staff productivity and evaluate how the use of state-of-the-art technology affects productivity of FRSC personnel. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study in examining the relationships between these factors and productivity. The study utilized two theoretical frameworks: McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y, and the Contingency Theory by Fred Fiedler. A descriptive research design was used to observe and describe employee behaviour within the FRSC, Rivers State Command. The study area comprised a population of 400 employees across ten departments, with a sample size of 200 determined using Taro Yamene's formula and a purposive sampling technique. A validated 20-item questionnaire instrument was used for data collection, with a reliability index of 0.78. Data analysis involved answering research questions using percentages, means, and standard deviations, while hypotheses were tested using chi-square. The findings emphasized the critical relationship between technology use and employee training in enhancing staff productivity and organizational outcomes. Statistical analysis revealed significant positive correlations between advanced technological implementation and productivity metrics, as well as between comprehensive training programs and performance indicators. The study established that investment in employee development and technological infrastructure has demonstrable returns in terms of organizational efficiency. The study concluded by recommending the integration of comprehensive training programs and technological advancement initiatives to enhance organizational efficiency and drive sustainable growth in road safety initiatives within the FRSC Rivers State Sector Command. These insights provide valuable guidance for policy formulation in both public and private sector organizations seeking to optimize human resource capacity and technological integration.
