A Theoretical Review of Managerial Strategies on Workers’ Performance

Abstract

This study examined managerial strategies and workers’ performance in selected local government councils in Cross River State. Most of the time, the goals set by the administration of most government parastatals are unrealistic, and therefore the employee is constantly put under pressure to achieve these ambitious goals. The cost of replacing workers can be high, the problems associated with finding and retraining new employees can considerable, and the specific workplace acquired skills and knowledge people walk away with can take years to replace. Based on the research study, communication skills, staff training, decision making, financial incentives, and survival strategy affect workers’ performance in the selected local government councils in Cross River State. The study recommended among others that government should allow workers communicate effectively if workers’ productivity must increase.
