Abstract:
The study ascertained the relationship between health benefits and the work quality of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study's objective was to empirically ascertain how health benefits relate to the work quality of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State regarding compliance with standards, accuracy, and product quality. The study employed the explanatory cross-sectional survey research design. The population of the study consisted of seven hundred (700) full-time staff of nineteen (19) registered paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State obtained from the Paint Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Rivers State Branch. Using Krejcie and Morgan's table of 1970, the study's sample size was Two Hundred and Forty-Eight (248) employees of the Paint Manufacturing Firms. A total of two hundred and forty-eight (248) copies of the questionnaire were distributed, and the researcher could retrieve 240 copies of the questionnaire correctly filled. The data obtained from the field were analyzed using Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient and t-test with the aid of SPSS Version 22.0. Three hypotheses were tested using Spearman Rank Order Correlation. Rooted on the empirical analysis carried out, the study revealed that: there is a strong positive relationship between health benefits and compliance with the standard of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State; there is a strong positive relationship between health benefits and accuracy of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State, and; there is a strong positive relationship between health benefits and product durability of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State. It was concluded in the study that fair and equitable health benefits such as wellness programs and health insurance bear satisfactory staff commitment that translates into increased work quality in terms of compliance with standards, accuracy, and product durability. The study recommended, among others, that the Paint Manufacturing Association of Nigeria should regulate paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State to adopt adequate respiratory safety kits, factory protective gear, and eco-friendly measures that would moderate the impact of air and waste pollution on employees.
