Abstract:
This research looked at how diversity management affected the productivity of a few oil and gas companies in Nigeria's Delta State. The oil and gas companies in Delta State, notably Biddysoa Oil and Gas Limited, Chevron/Texaco, NESTOIL Group, PANA Oil & Gas Limited, and Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc in Delta State, Nigeria, were the subject of the research. A five-point likert scale questionnaire was used to gather the respondents' replies. A total of two hundred and fifty-four (254) questionnaires were given out to employees of five different oil and gas companies in Delta State for this study, which used descriptive survey research. Of the two hundred and fifty-four (254) questionnaires given out, two hundred and forty-nine (249)98.03% were retrieved and filled out correctly, while five (5)1.97% were not filled out correctly and were returned. Two hundred forty-nine (249) respondents in all, or 98.03% of the sample size of 248, made up the sample used for the study. The study questions were assessed with the use of descriptive statistics and a correlation matrix, and the questionnaire was coded using an excel spread sheet. The respondents' profiles were also examined using manual basic percentage analysis. With the help of SPSS version 23, the study's assumptions were put to the test utilising multiple regression statistical methods. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between Organizational Productivity (OP) of selected Oil and Gas firms in Delta State, Nigeria, and Gender Diversity (GD) (0.001-0.005); there is also a significant positive relationship between Organizational Productivity (OP), and Age Diversity (AD) (0.000-0.05); The p-value (0.0030.05) with Organizational Productivity (OP) of Selected Oil and Gas Firms in Delta State, Nigeria shows that there is a significant positive relationship between Ethnicity Diversity (ED) and Organizational Productivity (OP) of Selected Oil and Gas Firms in Delta State, Nigeria (0.0170.05); Religion Diversity (RD) also has a positive significant relationship with Organizational Productivity (OP) of Selected Oil and Gas Firms in Delta State, Nigeria. According to the study's findings, diversity management significantly and favourably impacted the organisational productivity of a few chosen oil and gas companies in Delta State, Nigeria. The study recommends that Oil and Gas firms in Nigeria should maintain and improve on their gender diversity management; this will go a long way in enhancing the organizational productivity.
