TI  - EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION ON EMPLOYEES?
PERFORMANCE IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR: A STUDY OF
ODENL Ltd, LAGOS
N2  - 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.
