(Covenant Journal of Entrepreneurship (CJoE) VoL 9 No2, 2025-08) Ufua, Daniel E.; Babalola, Omoniyi S.; Falola, Hezekiah O.; Kehinde, Segun; Pilo, Mikemina
This study explored the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) on organisational resilience. The
study took on a conceptual approach, relying on the trend of findings and ideas from extant literature to
understand the current practices of TQM in the Nigerian food and beverage sector. The study developed a
suggested model for further improvement on current practices ofTQM implementation in the Nigerian food and
beverage sector. This had factors including the emphasises on collaboration for the creative development of
TQM approaches that meet the stakeholders' expectations. Others included the need for adequate legal system
support to business relationships and obligations with partners and the relevance of human resource management
development to address the fickle nature of stakeholders' expectations. This was coupled with the need for
operational process evaluation to re-examine an operational process's potency to identify improvement areas and
further development of their operations. The study concluded that the TQM organisation and its stakeholders to
embrace the connectivity required for effective creativity and innovation needed to support. the implementation
of TQM. This has the potential to facilitate the hedge and create respite to address identified challenges to the
implementation ofTQM in the Nigerian food and beverage sector. Part of the recommendation was to adopt an
empirical approach to explore the topic further and develop new findings to contribute to TQM development in
the Nigerian context.
Strengthening financial motivation and job performance of the Nigerian bankers: The mediating role of workplace mi.ndfuh1ess and employ ees' happiness
(Humanities and Social Sciences Letters 2025 VoL 13, No, 2025) Igbinoba, Ebeguki; Falola, Hezekiah O.; Joel, Opeyem; Onayemi, Oluwakemi
This study explored the relationships between financial motiYation, worli:place
happiness, mindfulness, and job performance in the Nigerian banking industry. Data
was collected fi·om 420 employees using self-administered questionnaires and analysed
vvith Smart PLS 4.0. T he results showed that financial motivation was positively
related to job performance. At the same time, workplace happiness and mindfulness
were also positiYely associated with job performance and mediated the relationship
between financial motivation and job performance. The result emphasizes workplace
mindfulness and employees' happiness as crucial mediators of financial motiYation and
hence influences job performance. These findings support the importance of intrinsic
motiYation factor s, such as workplace happiness and mindfulness in enhancing job
performance. The study concludes that employee happiness is not solely a product of
financial motiYation. Employers should talie \·arious factors, including social support
and a conducive working environment into account when developing strategies to
promote workplace happiness. The findings suggest that increasing financial
motiYation through targeted incentives can significantly improYe job performance
among Nigerian bankers, especially when complemented with other forms of work
mindfulness practice and promoting employees' happiness.
Re-evaluating the Impact of Product Quality Consistency on Customer Satisfaction: Insights from Coca-Cola, Nigeria
(Covenant Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 15, No. 2, 2024-12) Ufua, Daniel E.; Babalola, 0moniyi, S.; Falola, Hezekiah O.; Gudeta, Konjit Hailu
The effect of product quality consistency on customer satisfaction at Coca-Cola Nigeria, which focuses on
its Lagos State operations, was investigated in this study. In a highly competitive market, customer
satisfaction is influenced by various factors, including product quality, pricing, and brand image. Despite
Coca-Cola's established reputation, understanding the direct impact of product quality consistency on
customer satisfaction and loyalty in the Nigerian context still needs to be explored. This study addresses
this gap by examining how product quality consistency shapes customer experiences and satisfaction. The
research employs a descriptive approach, utilising a survey of 271 Coca-Cola consumers in Lagos State.
Data were analysed using structural equation modelling to assess the relationship between product quality
consistency and customer satisfaction across three key dimensions: perceived quality, accessibility, and
feedback. The results indicate strong positive relationships, with path coefficients of 0.399 (p < 0.000) for
accessibility, 0.394 (p < 0.000) for feedback, and 0.331 (p < 0.000) for perceived quality. These findings
underscore the importance of consistent product quality in enhancing customer satisfaction. The study
recommends that Coca-Cola Nigeria prioritise maintaining high standards of product quality while also
considering other factors, such as pricing and brand image, to boost customer loyalty. Limitations include
the focus on Lagos State, and future research could explore similar relationships in other regions of Nigeria.
This study contributes to the existing literature on quality consistency and customer satisfaction, providing
actionable insights for companies seeking to improve their competitive edge through customer-centric
strategies.
Exploring Technology Innovations for Improved Line Managers' Job Engagement in a New World of Work: Empirical Evidence from Government Parastatals in Nigeria
(Covenant Journal of Business & Social Sciences (CJBSS), VoL 14, No.2,, 2023) Falola, Hezekiah O.
This study examines the influence of technology innovations on line managers' engagement in the
world of work. Two hundred and thirty-four (234) line managers were surveyed, out of which two
hundred and seventeen (217) copies of the questionnaire were returned and used for the analysis.
Smart PLS (3.0) was used for the analysis. Findings show that telecommuting, work process
automation, mobile collaboration, and gamification significantly influence line managers' job
engagement. The study recommended that public parastatals should leverage technological
innovations to improve line managers' job engagement. However, line managers must also
understand their critical roles as professionals to take advantage of technological innovations for
improved job engagement.
Tripartite relationships between frontline managers’ competencies, wellbeing initiatives, and perceived job engagement in a developing economy
(International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies, 7(3), 2024) Falola, Hezekiah O.; Joel, Opeyemi; Efe-Imafidon, Emmanuel; Onyia, Valerie
The main objective of this study is to investigate the tripartite relationships between frontline managers' competencies, wellbeing initiatives, and perceived job engagement in some selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Based on a sample size of four hundred and ninety-nine (499) frontline managers drawn from selected manufacturing firms, smart partial least squares (SMART PLS) 3.0 was adopted to show the relationships among frontline managers' competencies, wellbeing initiatives, and perceived job engagement in the world of work. The statistical results show that the dimensions of front-line managers' competencies, significant change-management skills, employee relations, business savvy, and problem-solving skills, greatly influenced job engagement, while components of talent wellbeing initiatives mediate the relationship between front-line managers' competencies and job engagement. The study recommends that frontline managers adopt a continuous competency evaluation approach, focusing on frequent evaluations to identify areas of improvement and potential for development. As a means of developing a resilient and competent managerial workforce, it emphasises the significance of specifically designed wellbeing programmes that address the difficulties associated with their jobs. Organisations may foster a good work environment that improves wellbeing in general and supports long-term, productive engagement. Existing literature that focused on the frontline managers' competency theme in the manufacturing industry scarcely examined the processes critical to wellbeing initiatives and perceived job engagement in the manufacturing industry. As a result, the present study uses a moderating variable of employee wellbeing initiatives to explain how frontline managers’ competencies foster job engagement.
