Abstract:
This study examined impact of corporate conspiracy on employees productivity in
Rivers state universities. The study was led by a single research question, and one null
hypothesis was put to the test. The study design used was a descriptive survey. There were 38
lecturers in the population, hence a census survey sampling was used. Three professionals
validated the data gathering questionnaire, which had four response possibilities. Cronbach's
alpha was used to determine the instrument's dependability, and the results showed coefficients
of 0.73. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess the null hypotheses
at the 0.05 level of significance, while mean and standard deviation were utilized to answer the
research question and quantify the dispersion in respondents' viewpoints. Findings revealed that
that corporate conspiracy very highly, impacts negatively on lecturers productivity.
Consequently, it was concluded that if universities managements are not careful of corporate
conspiracy and device a better way of getting information, the productivity of lecturers will
continue lower with serious negative effect on the students performnce and overall objectives of
the universities. Based on the finding, it was recommended that Rivers State universities
managements should be very careful of corporate conspiracy and conspiracy theories because of
their negative impact. The universities management should adopt Goal-Setting Theory to
examine the extent to which goal setting and feedback drive employees (lecturers) productivity
in the universities.
