Hence, 112 employees were studied. A structured questionnaire, with 28 items was developed by the researcher. The questionnaire was structured on a 5-point scale. A pilot study was carried out to predict the power and moderation effect of the variables by conducting a test using mean, independent t-test, and Analysis of Variance statistics. The real limit of the mean values was used to make decisions on the entire item. Independent t-tests and analysis of variance were used for in-depth data analyses. It was concluded that employee relations, training and development practices have a positive impact on the performance of LDMBs in Adamawa State.
