Indirect Voice and Worker Well Being in Multinational Oil Exploration and Producing Companies in Nigeria

The aim of this research was to explore how indirect communication impacts the well being of employees in multinational oil companies operating in Nigeria. This study employed a cross sectional survey approach, collecting primary data via a structured questionnaire. It focused on a population of 10,714 workers from six such companies. With a sample size of 386 determined using Taro Yamanes formula, reliability was ensured by Cronbachs Alpha coefficient, with all items scoring above 0.70. Hypotheses were evaluated using Spearmans Rank Order Correlation Coefficient, utilizing Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0, at a 95 confidence level and a significance level of 0.05. The results revealed significant connections between indirect communication and various aspects of employee well being. The study recommends that multinational oil company management in Nigeria should foster indirect communication by creating environments supportive of collective bargaining, joint consultative committees, and works councils, aimed at improving the psychological, social, and physical well being of workers.
