Despite their contribution to the economy, high mortality rate amongst them is great concern to all stakeholders. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to determine the impact of environmental factors on the performance of SME. The population of this study was 2703 SMEs in Ilorin. The study adopted purposive sampling technique to select a sample size of 336. Data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypothesis was tested using both regression and correlation. The result of the analysis reveal that: i) with the result of hypothesis one (R = 0.747, R2 = 0.558, (0.000) < 0.5). This implies that 55.8% variation in the dependent variable (Efficiency of SMEs) is caused by the independent variables (Employees' competencies). (ii) while hypotheses two result indicate R(325) = 0.125, p = 0.024 < 0.05. This revealed that a positive relationship exists between technological advances and innovativeness of SME, which is significant at p-value of 0.024. iii) and lastly for hypothesis three result (R = 0.855, R° = 0.732, (0.000) < 0.5). This implies that 73.2% variability of the dependent variable (Sustainability of SMEs) is accounted for by the independent variables (Economic factors). The study concluded that employees' competencies, technological advances and economic factors are key determinants of SME performance. It is therefore essential for SMEs to put their business environment into consideration in their strategic management planning in order to survive the complexity and dynamism of the environment.Item IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ON ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR(Department Of Business Administration, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Niger State., 2016-12) OLOTA OLUWAYOMI OMOTAYO; ABDUL D, Falilat Ph.D.; OLADIPO, Ganiyu TaiwoThe business environment changes continuously and these changes bring about high levels of uncertainties that the organization would have to make structural adjustment, so as to be able to accommodate these changes since the structural variable could influence changes on the organizational effectiveness. This study therefore examined the impact of organizational structure on organizational behaviour using Dangote Nigeria PLC Lagos as a case study with the objective of analysing the effect of the business environment on employee behaviour; to examine the relationship between organizations' size and employee behaviour; and to investigate the extent to which technology affects employee behaviour in organizational settings.

A total of 786 respondents were identified in the population, while the sample size of 130 was calculated for using the Yaro Yamane formula and were administered with the questionnaire. The findings of this study shows that business environment has a positive effect on employee behaviour with a significance level of 0.03 which is less than 0.05 and R? value of 0.223, also that there exist a positive relationship between organizational behaviour and organizational size with a significance level of 0.04 which is also less than 0.05 and finally the study finds out that technology does have an effect on employee behaviour with a significance level of 0.06 and R? value of 0.222. The research concluded that the structure of an organization has a deep impact on the behaviours of employees as it build loyalty at employee level and encourage employees to work harder to advance within the company. It therefore recommends that organization needs to establish a framework of order and system of commending employees effort when work undertaken by them is accomplished successfully.
