Abstract


This study examines the impact of collective bargaining on organizational performance in the formal sector, using Guinness Nigeria Plc as a case study. The research adopts the Efficiency, Equity, and Voice (EEV) Framework as its theoretical foundation. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 40 employees across different organizational levels. The study found that 65% of respondents acknowledged that collective bargaining significantly enhances organizational performance, while 72.5% perceived it as favorable. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive and statistically significant relationship between collective bargaining and organizational performance (r = 0.312, p = 0.047). These findings align with previous studies, highlighting that structured labor negotiations improve workplace motivation, job satisfaction, and productivity. The study concludes that collective bargaining is an essential tool for industrial harmony and workforce efficiency, recommending that organizations adopt inclusive bargaining strategies to sustain long-term growth and employee well-being.
