Background of the Study

Corporate boards are critical in driving the strategic direction of organizations, particularly in the banking sector. Boardroom conflicts, however, can hinder effective decision-making, affecting organizational performance and stakeholder value. In Nigerian banks, the challenges of corporate governance and leadership tussles have become increasingly prominent, with boardroom disputes often leading to indecision or poorly executed strategies.

Zenith Bank, a leading player in the Nigerian banking industry, operates in an environment characterized by stiff competition, regulatory pressures, and evolving customer expectations. Boardroom conflicts within such an institution can have far-reaching implications on decision-making processes, regulatory compliance, and market reputation.

This study focuses on Zenith Bank's operations in Kaduna State, exploring the impact of boardroom conflicts on its corporate decision-making. It provides insights into how conflicts within the boardroom shape the strategic choices made by the bank and their subsequent outcomes.

Statement of the Problem

Effective corporate decision-making is essential for the success and sustainability of financial institutions. However, boardroom conflicts, arising from personality clashes, competing interests, or governance lapses, can disrupt decision-making processes in Nigerian banks. Zenith Bank, like other banks, faces the challenge of maintaining cohesion within its boardroom while addressing complex business needs.

Despite the importance of resolving boardroom conflicts, limited empirical research examines their direct impact on decision-making in Nigerian banks. This gap hinders the ability of institutions to develop frameworks that mitigate conflicts and enhance decision-making. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the dynamics of boardroom conflicts in Zenith Bank and their effect on corporate decisions.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To identify the causes of boardroom conflicts in Zenith Bank, Kaduna State.

  2. To examine the impact of boardroom conflicts on corporate decision-making in Zenith Bank.

  3. To propose strategies for mitigating boardroom conflicts in Nigerian banks.

Research Questions

  1. What are the causes of boardroom conflicts in Zenith Bank, Kaduna State?

  2. How do boardroom conflicts impact corporate decision-making in Zenith Bank?

  3. What strategies can be implemented to mitigate boardroom conflicts in Nigerian banks?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Boardroom conflicts significantly influence corporate decision-making in Zenith Bank.

  2. Effective mitigation of boardroom conflicts improves corporate decision-making.

  3. Personality clashes are a primary driver of boardroom conflicts in Nigerian banks.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focuses on Zenith Bank in Kaduna State, specifically analyzing the causes and effects of boardroom conflicts on corporate decision-making. While the findings may offer valuable insights, they may not be generalizable to other Nigerian banks or regions. Additionally, the sensitive nature of boardroom dynamics may limit access to detailed information.
