Assessing the Influence of Collaborative Teamwork on Employee Productivity in Kano State Civil Service Commission

Employee productivity in the Kano State Civil Service Commission has been a subject of concern due to inefficiencies attributed to poor collaboration, weak teamwork structures, and bureaucratic constraints. This study assesses the influence of collaborative teamwork on employee productivity within the commission, examining how teamwork dynamics, communication, and shared responsibilities impact performance. The study aims to investigate key challenges hindering effective teamwork and identify strategies for fostering a more collaborative work environment. The work applies a conceptual research approach based on secondary data sources, including reviewed journal articles, books, government reports, and historical records. The literature review provided insights into the role of teamwork in enhancing organizational efficiency and employee engagement. Findings reveal that collaborative teamwork significantly improves employee productivity by promoting knowledge-sharing, innovation, and efficiency. However, challenges such as rigid hierarchical structures, lack of motivation, and inadequate training hinder effective teamwork. The study recommends implementing team-building initiatives, leadership support for collaboration, and investment in technology to facilitate communication. In conclusion, fostering a teamwork-driven culture is essential for improving productivity in the Kano State Civil Service Commission. The main drawback of the study is that the factual material relied on is secondary data.
