Abstract

Currently, the rate at which information is flowing from employer to employee makes it almost difficult for employees in Nigerian parastatals to ensure that all records have been read before attempting to destroy them. This study, therefore, will identify the extent to which organizational memory relates to employee performance in federal parastatals in South East Nigeria. The specific objectives will be to determine the extent of relationship that exists between innovative retention and employee competence of the parastatals in South Eastern part of Nigeria, and to identify the extent to which skill retention relates to employee retention in parastatals in South Eastern part of Nigeria. The study is guided by two research questions and two hypotheses which will be formulated in line with the specific objectives. The descriptive survey design will be adopted for the study. The study will be anchored in Social Learning Theory by Bandura (1976). The population of the study is 2800 staff, and sample size will be determined from the population. Primary data will be collected using a structured questionnaire. The data collected will be analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS, 23). The findings will be revealed and recommendations will be made based on the findings for policy implementation.
