Abstract

This study examined managerial strategies and organizational performance. To achieve the purpose of this study, three research objectives were made to guide the study. Expost facto design was adopted for the study. The population size comprised of six hundred and ninety (690) permanent staff. Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the sample size of two hundred and fifty-three (253) staff. The main instrument used for the data collection was questionnaire and 224 copies of questionnaire were retrieved back from respondents. The questionnaire was validated by an expert from Department of Business management, Cross River University of Technology. Data collected were analysed using tables and figures, while the hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient. All the hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The study found that communication skills, staff training, and decision making had significant relationship with organizational performance in the selected government parastatals in Calabar. The study recommended among others that government parastatals should allow workers communicate effectively if workers’ productivity must increase.
