Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

OKR (Objectives and Key Results) Adoption has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, regulators, and practitioners concerned with customer satisfaction with digital products. This growing interest reflects the recognition that OKR (objectives and key results) adoption does not operate in isolation, but interacts with a wider set of institutional and market conditions found within Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria.

Within the context of Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of OKR (objectives and key results) adoption on customer satisfaction with digital products, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

While OKR (objectives and key results) adoption is widely discussed in policy and industry circles, empirical evidence on its actual effect on customer satisfaction with digital products within Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria remains sparse and, in places, contradictory. This lack of localized, rigorous evidence makes it difficult for decision-makers to know with confidence whether current approaches to OKR (objectives and key results) adoption are helping or hindering customer satisfaction with digital products — a gap this study sets out to close.
