Przedmiot i cel pracy: Inwestycje w obiekty infrastrukturalne mogą stworzyć warunki sprzyjające stymulowaniu działalności gospodarczej i przemysłowej. Niemniej jednak istnieje kilka badań dotyczących wpływu obiektów infrastrukturalnych na rozwój przemysłu w krajach rozwijających się. Głównym celem tego badania jest zbadanie wpływu obiektów infrastrukturalnych na rozwój przemysłowy w stanie Lagos w Nigerii. Materiały i metody: Wyselekcjonowanym przedsiębiorstwom rozesłano 103 kwestionariusze, stosując wielostopniowe techniki pobierania próbek w strefach przemysłowych. Zebrane dane zostały przeanalizowane przy użyciu statystyk opisowych, podczas gdy do zbadania hipotezy badawczej zostały użyte ANOVA, regresja krokowa i korelacja. Wyniki: Z badań wynika, że wpływ infrastruktury na badania i rozwój jest niewielki, natomiast wpływ infrastruktury na łatwość produkcji jest średnio znaczący. Wykorzystując regresję krokową, badanie wykazało, że łatwość produkcji (89,7%), produktywność (1,1%) i ekspansja przemysłowa (1,5%) były głównymi obszarami rozwoju przemysłowego, na które wpływ był pozytywny natomiast morale pracowników, badania i rozwój nie znalazły się pod pozytywnym wpływem. Wynik współczynnika korelacji momentu iloczynu Pearsona pokazuje, że istnieje związek między obiektami infrastrukturalnymi a rozwojem przemysłowym regionu Lagos (r = 0,880; wartość p = 0,000) na poziomie istotności 0,05. Wnioski: W badaniu stwierdzono, że adekwatność obiektów infrastrukturalnych pozytywnie zwiększa i wzmacnia potencjał przemysłowy badanego obszaru. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Subject and purpose of work: Investment in infrastructural facilities has the capacity to create an enabling environment to stimulate business and industrial activities. Nevertheless, there are a few studies on the impact of infrastructural facilities on industrial development in developing countries. The main aim of this study is to investigate the impact of infrastructural facilities on industrial development in Lagos State, Nigeria. Materials and methods: One hundred and three questionnaires were administered to the selected companies through the use of multi-stage sampling techniques across the industrial zones. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics while ANOVA, Stepwise Regression, and correlation were used to investigate the research hypothesis. Results: The research shows that the impact of infrastructure on research and development is poor, while the infrastructural impact on the ease of production is averagely significant. Using Stepwise regression, the study revealed that ease of production (89.7%), productivity (1.1%), and industrial expansion (1.5%) were the major areas of industrial development that were positively impacted while research and development and workers' morale were not positively impacted. The result of Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient shows that a relationship exists between infrastructural facilities and industrial development of the Lagos region (r= 0.880; p-value=0.000) at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusions: The study concluded that adequacy of infrastructural facilities positively enhances and boosts the industrial potential of the study area. (original abstract)
