ABSTRACT

This study examined the impact of stakeholders’ engagement on the performance of some selected manufacturing organizations in the South East, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to: ascertain the effect of communication on employee retention in manufacturing organizations, South East, Nigeria, determine the effect of supplier partnership on stability in product delivery schedules of manufacturing organizations, South East, Nigeria, measure the effect of consultation on product innovation in manufacturing organizations, South East, Nigeria, assess the effect of accountability on organizational adaptive capacity in manufacturing organizations, South East, Nigeria, establish the effect of dialogue on project sustainability of manufacturing organizations, South East, Nigeria. This study adopted a survey  research  design.  The  population  of  the  study  was  7135  of  the  15  selected manufacturing organizations in South East, Nigeria. Stratified random sampling was adopted to select the appropriate number of firms from each stratum. The sample size of 554 was obtained from the application of Cochran’s formula for finite population while Bowley’s proportional allocation statistical technique was adopted to determine the allocation of questionnaire to each organization. Data were collected from primary source through the administration of copies of questionnaire. The questionnaire was structured in line with Five- Point Likert Scale. Face and content validity were determined by five experts, three from the Department of Management, University of Nigeria. Enugu Campus and two from the selected organizations: Innoson Nigeria Ltd, and Juhel Nigeria Ltd Manufacturing Company Plc, Enugu. A test-retest method was used to determine the reliability of questionnaire using Cronbach Alpha method. The result gave a reliability coefficient of 0.92. The five hypotheses formulated   and   were   tested   with   one   sample   t-test   at   0.05   level   of   significance. Communication had a significant positive (t = 43.742; P<0.05) effect on employee retention in manufacturing organizations in South-East, Nigeria. Supplier partnership had positive and significant (t = 24.766; P < 0.05) effect on product delivery schedules in manufacturing organizations in South-East, Nigeria. Consultation had a significant positive (t = 8.503; P <

0.05) effect on product innovation in manufacturing organizations in South-East Nigeria. Accountability had significant positive (t = 21.779; P < 0.05) effect on organizational adaptive capacity in manufacturing organizations in South-East, Nigeria. Dialogue had a significant positive (t =  30.359 > P < 0.05) effect on project sustainability in selected manufacturing organizations in South East, Nigeria. It recommends, among others, that Manufacturing organizations should ensure that all relevant stakeholders are strategically aligned to their goals, to sustain optimal product delivery.

1.1       Background of the Study

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

Stakeholder engagement has been described to be essential to the success of business in the

21st  century. The need to create value for everyone in an enterprise is important in building

―common purpose‖ and addressing the multifaceted challenges facing the world (Stakeholder Research Association, 2005). As humans, we are often bound to hold a stake in one thing or the other from time to time. Stakeholdership has always been part of every walk-of-life. One who takes special interest in how the affair of his/her family is being run can be described as a stakeholder at a domestic level. An employee or a customer who is concerned about the service quality of his/her company or service provider can be referred to as a stakeholder at an organizational level (Alade, 2013:1).

The word ―stakeholder‖ was carried in an internal memorandum at the Stanford Research Institute in 1963 (Freeman and Reed, 1983:89). The institute defined a stakeholder as ―those groups  without  whose  support  the  organization  would  cease  to  exist.‖  Freeman  (1984) defines a stakeholder as any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievements of organization‘s objectives. The actions, decisions or inactions of many organizations either as a for-profit or not-for profit organization can affect or impact the society positively or negatively. In the same way, the activities of individuals, groups of individuals or constituted authority within the society or same organization can influence the existence  and  operations  of  this  organization.  These  major  players  in  the  life  of  an organization as described above can be referred to as key stakeholders.  The impacts or influence of stakeholders can be economical, environmental, political or societal (Alade,

2013:1).

Stakeholders often have different attributes that define the degree of their influence on organizations. These attributes can be the degree of their powers, legitimacy, urgency and interests in the activities of these organizations (Alves, Gomes and Corsini, 2014:3). Given the sensitivity of stakeholders attributes, organizations are expected to give their stakeholders utmost  attention  by taking their  perspectives  into  account  towards decision  making and strategy development. One of the most effective ways of giving stakeholders attention is to engage them actively on issues of mutual concern (Alade, 2013:2).

Stakeholder engagement strategy is a very important tool in the organizational management (Kenyoru, Dumba, Dumba and Rotich, 2015:1). It refers to strategic management activity which  is  concerned  with  the  planning  and  controlling  of  the  whole  organizational environment, that  is,  internal  and  external  environments  (Pandey,  2005).  Pandey (2005) further stated that stakeholder engagement strategy is not a unique body of knowledge of its own,  and  draws  heavily  on  economics  for  its  theoretical  concepts  even  today.  It  is  of immense interest to both academia and practicing managers. A good stakeholder engagement strategy mechanism  should  foresee  inefficiencies  and  enable  organizations  take  steps  in preventing them from happening. It should also ensure that high quality and reasonable profit is achieved. In order for this system to be achieved, organizations should be inquisitive and hardworking at all times and be ready to make any change in the organization if need be (Ammenberg, 2001 in Kenyoru et al., 2015:2). Stakeholder engagement is considered as the extent to which stakeholders‘ needs are incorporated in relation to their power, potential and harm (Reshwara, 2016:2). It stems from identifying who the stakeholders are, and prioritizing them accordingly based on relevant attributes; the issue of concern to be addressed also needs prioritization especially when they are numerous. It is important for an organization to be able to bring stakeholders on board for two-way and multi-way dialogues towards creating mutual value, understanding, cooperation and shared objectives. Stakeholder engagement is described as fundamental to a successful business (Stakeholder Research Associates, 2005).

The words ―engage‖ or ―engaging‖ are verbs i.e. action or doing words. As a verb the word

―engaging‖ is synonymous with words such as involving, partake in, gain attention or interest of, or draw into.‖  Also, the word ―engaging‖  can be an adjective. As an adjective, it may imply words such as ―pleasing, attractive charming, interesting, appealing, attractive, fascinating, entertaining, winning‖ etc (Farlex Inc, 2012). There exists a responsibility assumption that states that the more an organization engages with the stakeholders, the more responsible and accountable it is likely to be to these stakeholders (Greenwood, 2007:3). The activity of systematic involvement by a company of its stakeholders on issues that have the requirement of materiality or relevance is known as stakeholder engagement (Thomsen, 2013 in Birindelli, Intonti, Bilancia, La Torre, Malorni, 2015:1).

Stakeholder engagement broadly refers to a framework of policies, principles, and techniques which  ensure  that  …  communities,  individuals,  groups,  and  organizations  have  the opportunity to be engaged in a meaningful way in the process of decision making that will

affect them, or in which they have an interest (Yee, 2010: 3). It is a means of fostering buy-in or commitment into a project, promoting participatory and transparent decision making (e.g., providing opportunities to develop knowledge for making informed choices) and, as a result, reducing conflict over decisions between decision-makers, groups involved, and beneficiaries (Mwaikam Ohkubo and Cassaniti, 2013)

Stakeholders‘  engagement  is  a  strategic  element  in  business  management  as  it  aims  to improve the quality of relationships with stakeholders and to achieve the greatest alignment of the products/services offered with the real needs of customers (Ingley, Mueller & Cocks,

2011).  Listening  to  stakeholders,  speaking  with  them,  and  paying  attention  to  their perceptions and expectations in the management of enterprises are, in fact, essential tools to better define the operations of the business, to align them with the demands of stakeholders, to improve the quality of the products and services provided also for internal stakeholders (direct effect), and to build and maintain a solid reputation in the market (indirect effect) (Giuliana, Mariantonietta, Massimo, Maura and Martina, 2015:1)

The Melbourne Mandate (2012) views  stakeholder engagement  as  central  for sustaining positive organization-public relationships. Though some scholars prefer to talk of ‗publics‘ instead of ‗stakeholders‘, mutual dependence remains the central idea (Aldoory & Grunig,

2012). Stakeholder engagement is a process in organizations that involve all parties of stakeholder to make decision or may affect the implementation of decision, (Prado‐Lorenzo,

2009). Stakeholder engagement is the process used by an organization to engage the relevant stakeholder  for  a  purpose  to  achieve  accepted  outcomes.  Stakeholder  engagement  is important in organization to achieve profitability.

Stakeholder theory conceives an organization as a complex, dynamic and interdependent network of multidimensional relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders. Performance and competitiveness depend on how well firms manage and nurture these relationships strategically in order to achieve corporate objectives and how they are perceived to manage them by the stakeholders, in their interests (Zsolnai, 2006). From a risk management perspective the benefits of consulting with these stakeholders are said to be numerous and include: higher levels of trust with stakeholder groups; stakeholders being able to contribute to decisions affecting their future; higher quality information for making business decisions; a wider understanding in the community of constraints upon firms; stakeholders feeling more

involved in decision-making processes and feeling their interests are being considered; stakeholders better understanding their risk and opportunity management responsibilities and greater collective responsibility in managing risks.

Historically, engagement tended to be more reactive or focused on risk mitigation. As the corporate  social  responsibility movement  has  grown,  companies  have  become  proactive under the assumption that stakeholder engagement can enhance the sustainability and profitability of the organization. A variety of tools can be used to engage with stakeholders. These are usually considered across a spectrum depending on the stakeholder‘s involvement in the decision-making process. The tools include dialogue, communication, consultation, empowerment, participation, partnership and accountability (GIIRS, 2012)

Communication is the process of expressing ideas and feelings or giving people information. If the communication within the organization is inadequate, problems take place. Low organizational commitment, declining production, high level of absenteeism, increasing uneasiness in enterprise and increasing rate of quitting the job is seen in the enterprises where organizational communication is weak (Hargie, Dickson and Tourish, 1999). It has been noted that effective communication system is essential for workers and managers in the corporation   to   express   mutual   expectations   among   each   other   and   the   efficient communication system can solve the problems that individuals encounter in the enterprise, and thus their intention to leave the job can be prevented by increasing their commitment to the organization (Ada et al., 2008: 489). When there is efficient communication system established by the managers in organizations; productivity increases, staff turnover rate and staff complaints are reduced, and workers’ commitment to the organization are increased (Ekinci,  2006:  49).  Also,  negative  behaviors  are  prevented  such  as  being  late  to  work, quitting job and absenteeism with the help of the efficient communication system (Yılmaz,

2011: 58). It has been stated that through the intra-organizational communication, the employees will understand the goals of the organization and the firms will also find out the aims of their employees. The commitment will increase in the degree of mutual adaptation, the uncertainties in the corporation will disappear and as the intraorganizational problems in which management and the individuals will trust each other are minimized, and there will be a decrease in job leavings (Gözen, 2007: 66).

Strategic supplier partnership represents the long-term relationship between the organization and suppliers. An effective supplier partnership can be a critical component of a leading edge supply chain (Noble, 1997). Through strategic supplier partnerships, organizations can work closely with suppliers who can share responsibility for the success of the products (Li et al.,

2005). Survey conducted by Radas and Bozˇic´ (2009) on Croatian companies from manufacturing   and   service   sectors   showed   that   collaboration   with   other   firms   or organizations, also include suppliers, has positive significant impact on process innovation and incremental product innovation. Such strategic supplier partnerships should enable successful organizational performance.

Machikita and Ueki (2011) state that strategic alliances with private and public organizations, local business organizations, and universities also play an important role in product innovation. Empirical results suggest that the innovation impacts of such alliances are significant, and sizable compared to the innovation impacts of vertical linkages and such alliances starts with consultations. Alliances and vertical linkages offer different effectiveness of knowledge in the case of product innovation. These two types of external sources could be complementing each other. Increased knowledge sharing with production partners has caused significant technological upgrading and has led to product innovation in firms.

Accountability connotes the degree of fairness and transparency in expression or presentation of results of activities both to the members of the organization or externals. Some organizational initiatives have been based on the assumption that enhanced accountability would  improve  performance.  But  the  empirical  evidence  that  this  has  happened  is inconclusive (Lægreid and Verhoest 2010), and evidence of whether performance measurement leads to better accountability is scarce (van Dooren, Bouckaert and Halligan

2010). The relationship between accountability and performance is characterized by tensions, ambiguities and contradictions, and more responsibility for performance does not lead to more accountability for performance (Bouckaert and Halligan 2008). Behn (2001) claims that there is an accountability dilemma and argues that performance audit tends to focus more on compliance than on performance and is biased towards hierarchy and punishment and hence tends to undermine public trust. Dubnick (2005) argues that the idea that accountability increases performance has been accepted without careful scrutiny and he claims that there is

an «accountability paradox» in which more accountability actually diminishes organizational performance (Christensen and Lægreid, 2014:4).

Stakeholder dialogue may be conceptualized as a means to enhance community engagement. Stakeholder dialogue is a concept used to describe the process of collaborative decision making embracing participation by relevant stakeholders (Oels, 2006). Ideally, ‗reflexive‘ stakeholder dialogue is a process of open interaction through which people listen and learn from each other in an enabling environment (Hemmati, 2002). Stakeholder dialogue enhances the potential for individuals and groups since they are given space to articulate their interests and have their voices heard in environmental management and decision-making processes (Stoll-Kleemann & Welp, 2006). From this perspective, stakeholder dialogue can be seen as a governance  arrangement  embracing  all  sections  of  the  local  community,  to  democratize access to and use of resources, to manage conflict, and to make resource management more effective and efficient (Warner, 2007 in Mendez-Servitillo,2013).The organization must engage stakeholder in dialogue to knowing the issue and the importance of environment to improve the organization performance (Siti, 2014:5).

The advantages of stakeholder engagement are related to developing innovations successfully and to increasing the chances of their acceptance in the market. Furthermore, value is increased for the firm and its customers. Taking the benefits of stakeholder engagement into account one can understand why Von Stamm (2008) argues that connections outside the organization, e.g. with customers, suppliers, etc. are becoming more and more important for successful innovation. Stakeholder engagement provides opportunities to further align business practices with societal needs and expectations, helping to drive long-term sustainability and shareholder value. Stakeholder engagement helps the practitioners to compete in an increasingly complex and ever-changing business environment, while at the same time bringing about systemic change towards sustainable development (Neil, 2009). Grunig (1992) points to the value of on-going stakeholder engagement via processes of dialogue and two-way symmetrical communication to invite stakeholder input into organizational decision-making. There is indeed substantial evidence in the stakeholder and communication management literature to suggest that enlightened organizational strategy- making is best informed by a process of continuous dialogue with stakeholders and that ―the

social performance of any business should be judged not by what it does, but by the extent to which it facilitates interested parties in negotiating what it does‖. (King, 1998: 43).

Manufacturing is a very important sector of the economy. Around the world, manufacturing organizations have contributed largely in ensuring economic development and better standard of living of the citizens. Clifford (2013) states that manufacturing industries contributed immensely  in  the  development  of  Europe  and  America.  Subsequently,  there  is  still competition among the industries which invariably results to economic development. The manufacturing sector not only plays important role but also represents an important criterion in assessing a nation‘s development. Most developed countries have strong manufacturing base. Growth in manufacturing has significant positive effects on employment creation, sustained increases in per capita income, technological innovation and adoption, competitiveness and economic growth of any country. Most countries that are major players in the global economy have transformed the structures of their economies by developing a strong manufacturing sector. Central to the transformation of countries is the growth and size of the manufacturing sector. The level of a country‘s development can therefore be measured by its manufacturing sector (Oyati, 2016:1).

Okeke (2011) opines that decades after independence, the Nigerian manufacturing sector is still contributing less than 5 percent to the nation‘s gross domestic product (GDP). Currently, the  country‘s  ailing  manufacturing  sector  is  operating  at  below  40percent  of  installed capacity. From all indication, it is clear that Nigeria has a fragile and highly vulnerable manufacturing sector with weak industrial base, which in its present stakes cannot sustain expected growth and development. It is unfortunate that the manufacturing sector, which has potential for wealth creations, employment generation and poverty eradication is trapped in this web. What then could be the problem in a country that has plenty of natural resources that is at the core of all manufacturing activities? To this end therefore, it is important to investigate the quality of the relationship that exist between the manufacturing organizations and their relevant stakeholders with a view to enhancing their performance through recommendations and thereby increasing the nation‘s gross domestic product (GDP) at large.

1.2       Statement of Problem

Organizations exist to serve the needs of its stakeholders. It is therefore, pertinent for all organizations  to  design  or  develop  effective  means  of  satisfying  relevant  stakeholders‘ interest,  and  harmonizing  this  interest  which  appear  contradictory.  All  that  have  claims should be made to understand and follow the activities of the organization. Dialogue, transparency  and  accountability  could  be  helpful  in  doing  these.  Employees  should  be induced to contribute maximally to the growth of the organization by at least getting them involved in the organizational planning process (OPP). Input suppliers and output consumers should be significantly considered while decisions are made in organizations.

The  manufacturing  sector  in  Nigeria  has  been  adjudged  to  be  in  crisis.  Manufacturers

Association of Nigeria, (2016) states that about 272 firms were shut down between 2014-

2016, while some reduced their production, staff strength, and remuneration of workers It also revealed that industrial capacity utilization hovers around 20 per cent in the past ten years and also more than half of the surviving firms are classified as ailing which pose a very serious threat to the manufacturing sector and our already ailing economy in general. The acute challenges emanating from the political, economic, technological and socio-cultural environments as well as the difficulties in attending to and balancing the needs and demand of the stakeholders are really not an easy task. The strategies adopted in managing and engaging those that have stake in the organization could have been a source of the obvious crises in the industry. Managers find it difficult to strike a balance or even prioritize the need of the stakeholders and this is part of the cause of the crisis bedeviling the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The strategies adopted in engaging these stakeholders could either enhance the sustainability of the organization or diminish its fortune. Engagement tools could be counterproductive and the management of engagement policies is a major determinant of the performance of the organization. The communication patterns, partnership, consultation and dialogue seem not to be properly managed in the Nigeria manufacturing sector.

The improper engagement of the relevant stakeholders has led to high turnover rate, inconsistency  in  product  delivery  periods,  low  project  sustainability  ratio  and  all  these increase the cost of doing business and affect the sole objective of the manufacturing firm- profit maximization. It is, therefore, pertinent to investigate, empirically, the relationships

that exist amongst these engagement strategies and the performance of the Nigeria manufacturing firms.

In addition, literature in this area is more in the western countries with a dearth of empirical studies in Nigeria especially in the South East Nigerian manufacturing industry.

1.3       Objectives of the Study

The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of stakeholders‘ engagement on the performance of Nigerian manufacturing organizations in South East, Nigeria. The specific objectives are to:

1.6       Significance of the Study

The findings of the study will be beneficial in many ways to corporate entities, individuals and scholars.

The findings of the study will provide useful insight and information to the management of manufacturing organizations as to the importance of selecting/choosing effective engagement strategies especially at the top management decision making level.

The study fills the theoretical and knowledge gap in providing theoretical and conceptual models to further advance the frontiers of knowledge in management and organizational science research through publications in journal articles.

The research work will also become a reference material to students, scholars and the academic community when copies are made available to the university library and digital repository.

1.7       Scope of the Study

The study focused on the effect of stakeholders‘ engagement on the performance of Nigerian manufacturing organizations in the South East, Nigeria. Communication, partnership, consultation, accountability and dialogue are proxies of engagement which were measured

against performance variables – employee retention, product delivery, product innovation, adaptive capacity and project sustainability. The study was carried out in the South East, Nigeria using fifteen (15) manufacturing organizations as sample. Data gathering, presentation, analyses and interpretation were from July – October, 2017.

1.8       Limitations of the Study

There is the expected typical reluctant attitude on the part of some respondents to fill the questionnaire or grant interview. In some cases, some respondents expect to be paid for the use of their time and knowledge; if otherwise, they were very reluctant in giving the required information. Some hoard information in keeping with the oath of secrecy. Given the repeated assurance of confidentiality, they filled the questionnaire.

1.9       Operational Definition of Terms

In order to clarify and reveal contextual meaning of some terms in this work, it becomes appropriate to explain the followings:

Accountability: organizational style of reporting the activities to the public.
