Abstract:

There has been an increase in both the complexity and the standard of business processes as organisations strive for survival or sustainability in the face of this pandemic. Thus, businesses are faced with this intricate environmental challenge of keeping up with manufacturing. This study aims to empirically examine the strategic influence of outsourcing on organisational performance in the post-COVID-19 age of chosen organisations in Sagamu LGA of Ogun State, Nigeria, with the goal of promoting sustainable growth in corporate organisations. Researchers utilised a combination of convenience and judgemental sampling to choose the managers of several business firms in Sagamu LGA, Ogun State, Nigeria, to serve as the study's population. We used regression analysis to choose through a thousand acceptable research instruments. The validity and reliability of the study were also established. The results showed that in the post-COVID-19 period, the variables of outsourcing, such as core competences, delegation techniques, and sub-contracting, significantly impact the sustainability of organisational performance. In order to accomplish their goals and provide the level of customer satisfaction that their consumers want, organisations should focus on developing and relying on core competencies, effective delegation techniques, and the capacity to subcontract jobs. In addition, for long-term viability and continued market competitiveness, businesses should make the most of the strategic outsourcing variables in conjunction with other resources derived from technological competence and infrastructure.
