The instrument was validated by accordingly; while the reliability of the instrument was obtained from Cronbach Alpha and the coefficient obtained was 0.79 which was considered good enough to be used to be for the study. The instrument was structured based on the 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Out of the total number of 204 copies of the questionnaire distributed, 9 were wrongly filled and as such were discarded; 14 were not returned, while 178 were correctly filled and returned and used for the analysis. Simple Linear Regression was used to analyze the data. The coefficient R and R2 values were used to answer the research questions, while F-ratio was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that three predictors, personnel training, performance-based rewards and fringe benefit have statistically significant positive effects on productivity in the FRSC Akwa Ibom State Sector Command.
