success of telecommunication firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional
research design was adopted in studying four (4) of these institutions. Our
respondents were managerial employees constituting the population of the
study. From the field survey, we retrieved and analyzed forty (40) copies of the
questionnaire from the participants; Spearman's rank correlation coefficient
statistical tool was used to determine the relationship existing between the
variables while the p-value obtained was used to test hypotheses developed for

skills competency and value competency and organizational success. It was then

in designing improvements to employees and organizational learning as well as
