Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate employee commitment and resource utilization of oil companies in Port Harcourt. The correlational survey design was adopted for the study. The researchers collected ample number of sample and data, which was analyzed using statistical methods. It was found from the analyses that significant relationship existed between affective commitment and time minimization; continuous commitment and cost minimization; normative commitment and waste minimization. The study concluded that in organizational milieu where affective commitment, continuous commitment and normative commitment existed, time minimization, cost minimization and waste minimization are enhanced in oil and gas companies in Port Harcourt. Based on the study, the researchers briefed that, employees should be well paid to achieve cost minimization and where policy adherence were strongly enforced, only enacted roles and not expected roles should be expected from workers.
