This study ascertains the relationship between the use of integrating, dominating, obliging, avoiding, and compromising styles of managing conflicts and the quality of relationship multinational oil firms have with host communities. The questionnaire was used to gather data from 200 top managers and personnel in the public relations department sampled from thirteen (13) multinational oil firms. Data analysis was carried out using multiple regression. It was revealed that the quality of relationship multinational oil firms have with host communities is negative and significantly related to the use of dominating and compromising styles of handling conflict, but positive and significantly related to the use of integrating, obliging, and avoiding styles of handling conflict. The study recommends that multinational oil firms should change from the deployment of dominating style to integrating and obliging styles in handling conflict with host communities.

In the past decades, work-related stress has become a major source of health-related issues among workers in organizations around the globe. Numerous research studies have examined this biological phenomenon given its negative consequences on employees' wellbeing, and threat to organizational survival and competitiveness. Job satisfaction is a key work attitude that is highly desirable in the workplace if organizational goals and objectives are to be achieved. This study investigated the relationship between work stress and job satisfaction among nursing staff in selected public hospitals in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. The dimensions of work stress examined include role ambiguity, role conflict, job overload, poor social support, and poor work environment. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. Three hundred and five (n=305) nurses in public hospitals in Benin City were selected for the study. Data generated for the study were analyzed with ordinary least squares regression techniques. The results indicated that except for role ambiguity, other work stressors investigated, which are role conflict, job overload, poor social support, and poor work environment, had a significant and negative relationship with job satisfaction of nurses. It was recommended that more nurses should be employed in public

Two dimensions of employees’ voice behavioural performance, which are, promotive voice behavioural performance and prohibitive voice behavioural performance were empirically examined. The organisational support dimensions explored are: employers support, supervisors support, and fellow employees support. A survey research design which employed the use of the questionnaire was used to collect the needed date from the respondents. Data which was generated from three hundred and fifty selected respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages analysis and inferential statistics such as multiple regression. The result of the study revealed that all the three dimensions of organisational support examined, that is, employers support, supervisors support, and fellow employees support were significan...

The paper adopted conceptual and theoretical approaches to achieving its objective. This was done by critically reviewing extant literature on green human resource practices and environmental performance of firms. Based on the review of extant literature, it was observed that green human resource practices stimulate the environmentally sustainable performance of firms. The paper identified research gaps for future studies based on the methodological gaps of extant studies identified. It is recommended that the link between green human resource practices such as green recruitment and selection, green performance appraisal, green compensation and benefits, and green training and development and the environmentally sustainable performance of oil firms in Nigeria should be further explore.

Sensitivity analysis was conducted by varying the number of production days (330, 300 and 250 days) at 100% plant capacity and varying the plant capacity (100, 85 and 70%) for a 330-day production schedule. Some components of the operating cost reduced with number of days and plant capacities. The production cost and product cost per unit increased with either plant capacity utilization or the number of days. It was observed that product cost/ 500ml Tetra Pak of Agbalumo juice at 85% and 70% stood at ₦37.48 while payback time/profitability percent had better index at 300 and 250 days compared to 330 days of plant operation. The results further indicated that the plant should not be operated...

In spite of its damaging consequences and negative impacts on organisational wellbeing, counterproductive work behaviours usually go unnoticed or unreported perhaps due to its illegal nature. This study examined the forms and level of prevalence of counterproductive work behaviours among local government employees in Edo State, Nigeria. It also ascertained the relationship between psychological contract breach and counterproductive work behaviours. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and data were gathered through the use of a questionnaire which was administered on 319 sample respondents, out of which 282 questionnaires were retrieved and found usable, representing a response rate of 88.4%. The data obtained were analysed using statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation and ANOVA analysis. The results of the study revealed that the forms of counterproductive work behaviour investigated (i.e. sabotage, withdrawal, theft and abuse) are exhibited at a moderate level among
