Abstract:
This study deals with the nexus amongst employee wellbeing and organizational effectiveness of oil and gas firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey was adopted. A total population of six hundred and sixty-five (665) employees from 10 oil and gas firms in Rivers State, Nigeria, was covered in this work. A sample size of 250 was drawn from the population. The simple random sampling technique was employed. The questionnaire was used to obtain the necessary data from respondents. The spearman rank-order correlation was used for analysing the data. The result revealed that the dimensions of employee wellbeing (job satisfaction, and work-life balance satisfaction) had a significant positive relationship with cohesion and productivity. It was thus concluded that enhancing the total wellbeing of the employees by ensuring job satisfaction and work-life balance satisfaction of the employees, will help enhance the total effectiveness of the organization. Hence, the study recommended that organizations should ensure that staffs are well rewarded so as to boost their job satisfaction in the workplace and thus improve the firm’s effectiveness.
