Workers Network and Job Performance in Selected Government Ministries in Niger Delta of Nigeria

The study examined workers network and job performance in selected government ministries in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. The study's difficulty was discussed in a thorough background analysis that was looked at together with other sources. Several relevant works, both conceptual and empirical, were reviewed for the investigation. The study's approach was based on social cohesiveness theory. According to Maxwell (1996), social cohesion is the building of the shared values and communities of the interpretation, reducing disparities and generally enabling people to have a sense that they are engaged in common enterprise, facing shared challenges, and that they are members of the same community. The study used a cross-sectional research design as its research strategy. The questionnaire that was utilised as the research tool to gather information from the respondents was used to put this into practise. Among the sample of 394 responders, the questionnaire was given out. Under the probability sampling strategy, the study used a straightforward random sample method. To test the inferential statistics that used hypotheses, descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of variance. The study discovered that informal groups and the network of employees in the Niger Delta positively promote employees' job performance and serve as a platform for organisational productivity, The study makes the following recommendations: informal group should be used positively to promote employees' performance in order to use their group network to enhance employee job performance; and communication channels should be used by organisations to build on employees' networks to promote workers performance.
