Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between organisational transparency and organisational effectiveness of deposit money banks in Rivers State. The cross-sectional survey was used. A total of 159 employees from 15 banks were covered in this research. However, a sample size of 114 employees was derived and the primary data was gathered with the use of a well-structured questionnaire. The Pearson product moment correlation was utilized in analysing the data. Based on the analysis of the hypotheses, the result revealed a substantial positive link between the dimensions of organisational transparency (informational transparency and participatory transparency) with the measure of organisational effectiveness (job satisfaction and goal consensus). Thus, it was concluded that when there is upsurge in transparency, it boosts the effectiveness of the organisation. The study recommended that clear, timely and complete information relating to the organisation should be made available to employees and other stakeholders as such will enhance the effectiveness of the organisation.
