Performance appraisal is a regular check which every organization adapts to regulate the performance of its establishment. It shows the relationships between outputs and input variables in organizations. The objective of the study is to review the performance of six Nigerian seaports between the periods of 2012-2017 by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), General Linear Model (GLM), and Multivariate Analysis (MVA) models. Data collected from Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) statistics covers the periods (2012-2017) for each port. The empirical result shows that the following Seaports performed efficiently: Lagos Port (LP) in 2014, Tin Can Island Port (TCP) in 2014, Onne Port (OP) in 2014, and Calabar Port (CP) in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016. The least efficient performed seaport is Delta Port (DP) in 2012. Hence, the most efficient port over the years under study is Calabar Port (CP) while least performed port is Delta Port (DP). The results of the regression model and the multivariate analysis reject the null hypothesis and accept that at 5% level of significance there is a significant relationship between the input variables and output variables of each port, even that P-value is less than 0.005 (P<0.05).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
