Counterproductive work behaviour and Logistics Performance in GIGs Nigeria Limited: the influence of Employee Interpersonal Relations

Abstract

The study investigated the impacts of employee interpersonal relations on the logistics performance of GIG Logistics LTD in Ogun State, Nigeria. Since the population size of the company’s office in Ogun State is one hundred and twenty-two (122), no specific sampling strategy was used; the sample was simply equal to the population size. The study used structured instruments tagged ‘Employee Interpersonal Relationship and Logistics Performance Questionnaire (EIRLPQ)’. Using a descriptive quantitative survey research method, data were analysed using frequency counts, Pearson Product Moment Correlations as well as Mean and Standard Deviation. Results show the descriptive statistics of employee interpersonal relationships and logistics performance of GIG logistics, demonstrating that the logistics task where an employee interpersonal relation has the highest influence is on the task of processing orders and handling material. The study concludes that employee interpersonal relationships have a far-reaching influence on both the employees working co-dependently and the companies where these relationships exist and develop. The practical implications of the study were raised and recommendations were suggested upon the findings
