MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS (MNC) AND EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: THE NIGERIAN EXPERIENCE
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
This study set out to primarily investigate the extent to which the operations of the Multinational Corporations in Nigeria affect the employment opportunities and whether or not decisions taken at the international headquarters affect conditions of work and labour management relations in locales where they operate. The survey research design was adopted by this study. A sample size of 385 personnel was derived from the total population of 13,446 of the selected 6 multinational firms from oil, banking and manufacturing sectors. Data were collected using questionnaire and interview instruments. Statistical techniques were employed using SPSS to aid analysis. Findings show that the activities of the multinationals have led to the employment of more foreigners than is good for our soaring unemployment situation. Data supports that decision taken at the international headquarters of these MNCs impact on the local conditions of work. However, contrary to expectations, these decisions do not affect the activities of trade unions among sampled organisations.
