Abstract:
The study investigated the relationship between flexible work schedules and the organizational performance of Textile Production Companies in Rivers State. Its objective was to empirically ascertain how flexible work schedule relates to the organizational performance in terms of profitability, service delivery, and productivity. The study employed the use of the exploratory survey research design. The study population involved nineteen (19) registered Textile Production Companies operating in Rivers State, Nigeria. Since the population was not much for the researcher, the entire population became the sample size. Concerning the respondents, the researcher picked five (5) top managers (General Manager, Operations Manager, Human Resource Manager, Customer Relations Manager, and Information Technology Manager) from each of the companies. Therefore, 95 (19*5) became the number of respondents. A total of ninety-five (95) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the targeted respondents. Eventually, the researcher could retrieve 87 copies (92%) 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. The study revealed that: flexible work schedules and the financial success of textile production companies in Rivers State are strongly positively correlated; flexible work schedules and the provision of services by Textile Production Companies in Rivers State are strongly positively correlated, and; flexible work schedules and productivity of textile production companies in Rivers State are strongly positively correlated. The study concluded that flexible work schedules significantly improve the performance of textile businesses in Rivers State based on analyses and discussions of the findings. The study recommended that textile companies' management ensure that their managers and employees are digitally proficient at promoting efficient remote work, which will boost the organization's performance.
