    (Academy of Taiwan Business Management Review, 2019) Isiaka, S. B.; Kadiri, I. B.; Adeoti, J. O.; Saka, M. J.; Suleiman, A. A.; Jimoh, A. L.
    The various studies on organisational culture have shown that employees in most of the business organisations in Nigeria today are operating under the whims and caprices of the owners established beliefs, values and norms which are usually difficult to change as environment changes. Failure in the attempt to properly capture the interest of the employees when addressing this, usually generate the exhibition of some attitudes and behaviours that are inconsistent with the company’s best interests. Therefore, this study examines the impact of organizational culture on employees’ performance with reference to selected Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. Primary data was used to obtain the needed information through structured questionnaire. Out of 634 permanent staff of the selected pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria, simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 239 respondents. Multiple regression used to test the formulated hypothesis. The result of the regression showed that organizational culture has significant impact on employees performance (R Square of 0.684, p-value=0.0001). The study concludes that organization culture has a significant relationship as well as a good influence on employees performance. Also, significant differences exist in the level of adherence to the identified cultural dimensions. The study therefore recommended that the Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria should promote organisational culture, especially by paying more attention to detail so as to yield positive and significant contribution to employees performance.

    Transport is a major key factor in modern economies. In fact, cities and transport have developed hand-inhand since the earliest large human settlements. Problems such as road congestions and other forms of road hazards hinder the objective of human resource productivity and transportation systems. This paper however, examined the impact of roads hazards on human resources productivity in Nigeria. The respondents were made up of drivers, passengers, pedestrians, security officers, market women and men, and farmers. Thirty-five (35) respondents were selected at strategic areas through stratified and simple random sampling techniques from each selected areas of the states under study.
