Abstract
Organizational dexterity has been investigated as a critical aspect of improving organisational performance. Organizational skill is the ability to explore opportunities and exploit capabilities to adapt and overcome environmental changes and contemporary challenges. The study examined the effect of organizational dexterity on the organizational performance of non-alcoholic beverage companies in the South-South/South-West, Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey research design method and stratified random sampling technique were used for the study. The study used a structured questionnaire as an instrument of data collection. To establish the reliability of the instrument, a test-retest method was used. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data. Findings showed that 67% of the change in organizational performance was brought about by the dimensions of organizational dexterity. Findings showed that organizational structure has the highest positive significant effect on organizational performance (ß = 0.429, P<0.05). Effective leadership has positive significant effect on organizational performance (ß = 0.088, P<0.05). It was concluded that organizational dexterity has positive effect on organizational performance of non-alcoholic beverage firms in Nigeria. The study recommended amongst others that companies should design their structures in harmony with the internal and external working environment conditions and organizational strategies in order to enhance employee innovative performance. The study demonstrated that leaders play a crucial role to foster a culture that encourages knowledge sharing, employee retention and create loyalty to the organization.
