WORKPLACE BENEFITS AND ORGANISATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY OF PUBLIC HEALTHCARE CENTRES IN RIVERS STATE

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between resource management focusing on human, financial, and physical resources and the performance of public healthcare centres in Rivers State, Nigeria. Performance was measured in terms of financial, market, and operational indicators. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 40 respondents across 10 public healthcare centres using structured questionnaires. The results from Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between all three forms of resource management and organizational performance. Specifically, health benefit showed the strongest correlation (r = 0.673), followed by work-life balance benefit (r = 0.640), and financial benefit (r = 0.592), all significant at the 0.01 level. The findings highlight the importance of strategic resource planning and utilization in enhancing firm performance in the competitive insurance industry. The study concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between workplace benefits and organisational productivity in public healthcare centres in Rivers State. This underscores the critical role that comprehensive employee benefits play in enhancing performance and operational efficiency.
