Abstract:
The study determined the relationship between workplace equity and employee productivity of Table Water Firms in Port Harcourt. The study's objective was to empirically ascertain how workplace equity relates to the employee productivity of Table Water Firms in Port Harcourt in terms of timely services, daily employee output, and service quality. The study adopted the exploratory survey research design. The study population comprised two hundred and seventeen (217) employees from twenty-seven (27) Table Water Firms in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The researcher employed a census sampling technique, which made the sample the same as the population. The instrument for primary data was a questionnaire. Two hundred and seventeen (217) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the targeted respondents. Nonetheless, the researcher could retrieve one hundred and ninety-three (193) copies of them. The hypotheses were tested using Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. The empirical analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between workplace equity and employee productivity in Table Water Firms in Port Harcourt in terms of timely services, daily employee output, and service quality. It was concluded in the study that the practice of workplace equity is a cure-all for low employee productivity, which is manifested, among other things, in the form of subpar service quality, lower daily production, and delayed employee services. The study recommended, among others, that management should ensure that employees are promoted as at when due and with special considerations when need be, as this is capable of promoting the productivity of their employees through service quality, among others.
