Abstract:
The success of every organization is measured on the altar of its goal attainment through achieved organizational productivity. Unlike some efficiently managed organizations with high success rate across the globe especially in Nigeria; most organizations are left at the mercy of failure as a result of management-employees challenges due to irregularities in organizational task environment despite the abundance of managerial processes in existence that could be adopted and practiced. In relation to this, this paper attempts to draw a connecting line between improving organizational productivity, employee performance, and organizational management through a managerial process referred to as management by objective (MBO). It highlighted the processes involved in the process, its objectives, elements, strengths, and weaknesses; before finally recommending the best practices to be adopted in using Management by Objective (MBO) to foster optimum organizational productivity.
