ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to access Job Satisfaction and Corporate Performance in Champion Breweries Plc, Uyo. This study was guided by the following objectives; to
examine the relationship between employee recognition and corporate performance in Champion Breweries Plc, Uyo, to examine the relationship between advancement and
corporate performance in Champion Breweries Plc, Uyo, to ascertain the
relationship between employee autonomy and corporate performance in Champion
Breweries Plc, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. This study adopted a survey research design where self-administered questionnaire was designed and distributed to 110 employees working for Champion Breweries Plc. Data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis (PPMC) in Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Reliability of the measuring instrument is considered adequate, since all the Cronbach Alpha values are found to be at the threshold point of 0.70. The findings refuted the null hypotheses in each of the hypothesis, that there is no significant
relationship between employee recognition, employee advancement, employee
recognition and corporate performance in Champion Breweries Plc, Uyo. The findings revealed that if employees’ encouragement and empowerment is high, their level of job satisfaction will also increase leading to increase in the productivity of the organization and a decrease in the rate of turnover, absenteeism and disloyalty in the organization. This study
recommends that employees should be motivated accordingly and paid good salary
as at when due.

Every organization have a goal and the goal is to meet their specific projection for
a particular time period; this can only be achieved when the employee are
satisfied and happy in their various departments.
