Abstract
This study examines the effect of technological innovation on performance of employees in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, upstream segment. The purpose of the study was to determine if technological innovation was adopted in ODENL plc and the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Also, if technological innovation has contributed to the performance of employees which in a large extent would yield high organisational productivity. The population of the study used in this study was 124, being the total staff strength of offshore workers ODENL plc, while the sample size was same with the offshore population with the use of complete enumeration method. A mono method approach was used, specifically quantitative method, using a structured questionnaire to generate the primary data. The study used descriptive type of survey design while t-statistics was adopted for hypotheses testing. The study analyzed data collected through the use of SPSS while structural equation modelling (SMART-PLS) was used to predict the influence between each independent variable on all dependent variable constructs. The result of the study revealed that technological innovation has significant effect of (<0.05) on the performance of employee’s oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Specifically, results showed that perceived ease of use on technology contributes more to employee satisfaction while organisational support had the least, perceived usefulness of technology contributes more to employee satisfaction while employee’s commitment had the least, perceived behavioural control contributes more to employee’s productivity while employee’s commitment had the least, and lastly, psychological adoption contributes more to organisational support while employee’s satisfaction had the least. However, the findings depicted that null hypothesis was rejected and there was a significant effect between technological innovation and employee performance.
