ABSTRACT
The study sought to assess good research activity and mechanization system as determinants of
higher productivity in United Nigeria Textile Ltd in Kaduna State. The population of the study
comprised all the staffs in United Nigeria Textile Ltd. The researcher adopted primary method
(open and closed ended, and oral interviews), and secondary method (textbooks, lecture notes
and past research projects) of data collection. To this end, the total of 20 respondent was used
as sample for the study. The instrument used in this study was questionnaire and personal
interview. The reliability coefficient obtained was 0.84 and this was high enough to justify the
use of the instrument. The researcher subjected the data generated for this study to appropriate
statistical techniques such as the use of tables, percentage computations, and narrative notes.
The test for significance was done at 0.05 alpha levels. The study concluded that a good and well
conducted research is important in achieving higher productivity. That goods mechanization of
production system in industry reduces time and material wastages and inefficiency. The study
therefore recommended that there should be full time manpower training programmes. The
government should be encouraged to establish more research institutions and possibly provide
guidelines on the minimum level of
