ABSTRACT

Many enterprises limit their productivity enhancement of employees to the acquisition of skills. However, about 86 of productivity problems reside in the work environment of organizations. The work environment has effect on the performance of employees. The type of work environment in which employees operate determines the way in which such enterprises prosper. The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of work environment on future workers productivity. Primary data were used for this study that was generated through structured questionnaires with close ended questions. Ttest was used to test the research hypotheses. The respondents were randomly chosen from four selected oil and gas industry in Lagos metropolis. The results of Ttest indicate that employee productivity problems are within the work environment. Conducive work environment stimulates creativity of workers. Improvement in work environment and bad working conditions contribute to low productivity of employees.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0INTRODUCTION

The sensitivity of petroleum resource is vividly indicated in the fact that it has continued to remain as the goose that lay the golden eggs for the Nigerian economy as well as the supreme foreign exchange earner, contributing nearly 80 of government revenues and helps the development of Nigerias infrastructures and other industries. Thus, it is not an overstatement to say that petroleum production is as critical to Nigeria as oxygen is to life. However, due largely to the highly technical nature of exploration and production, the sector depends substantially on imported technology, equipment and manpower for its operations. Consequently, in view of the critical significance of the sector to the nations economy, and its capacity to generate farreaching multiplier economic benefits, the grooming of vastly skilled indigenous manpower to participate keenly in the activities of the sector to redress the foreign dominance becomes a desideratum Baker, 2006. The rapid development of an indigenous technical workforce has become more compelling than ever before against the background of projected imminent injection of massive investment in the sector. With a current production capacity of about 30 million barrels per day bpd, Nigeria plans to grow its capacity to about 40 million bpd by 2010. In order to achieve these targets, the federal government and other key stakeholders in the oil sector are going to invest an unprecedented 54 million in the sector within the next two years Adidu and Oghene, 2005; Agbadudu and Ogundipe, 2000. Already, Nigeria is the leading oil and gas producer in Africa, currently ranked the seventh highest in the world. Though estimates of Nigerias proven oil reserve are put at about 35.2 billion barrels, the federal government of Nigeria has plans to mobilize the countrys potentials to raise it to 40 billion barrels by 2010 Agbebaku et al., 2005.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Any organization that wishes to succeed in achieving it aims and objectives has to maintain a good working condition so as to achieve its goals. This is so because the intrinsic and extrinsic factors the intrinsic factor is the incentives attached to ones job that is what influences the secretary within the job, and this include achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility promotion and possibility for personal growth, while extrinsic are the environmental condition attached to ones work element that contribute or motivated the secretary e.g. interpersonal relationship with colleagues and subordinates.

Management itself realizes that there are certain fundamental needs that must be satisfied it secretarys due to function at their best, workers look for organization, firms, companies and institutions that offer jobs that provides satisfaction and sense of accomplishment it is in view of this background that the researchers intends to carry out this research work with the view of making employees improve their working condition as to get the best out of their employees.

Secretaries are needed in every type of office, be it advertising and public education, law and medicine, manufacturing and industries, publishing and schools, insurance and bank etc they also work for politicians, writers and judges.

It is an indisputable fact that the secretary is backbone of any organization, many achievements have been made by the management of the workforce of which the secretary is no exception.

Secretary is derived from the latin word secretaries meaning something know to one or few and kept secret or hidden from the view or knowledge of others, simply puts, a secretary is a keeper of secrets. He / she is a person who works in an office, working for another person, dealing with letters and telephone calls, typing, keeping records, arranging meeting with people secretary cannot be efficient and effective if he / she is working under poor condition.

1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the research is to analyze the impact of workers environment on workers productivity with a view to evaluating the existing physical work environment and to identify the type of work environment that will improve workers productivity.

1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research work is focused on the effect of working conditions on workers productivities, the working condition of any organization plays an important role on the workers because the productivity of an organization depends largely on them, lack of good working condition in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic factors leads to an great decline in productivity.

It is observed that many organizations are yet to realize the benefit of good working condition and consequently, this is greatly affecting their employees particularly the realization of this fact that prompted the researchers to go into a study of this nature.
