It employs descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was 112 workers of Niger State Board of Internal Revenue service. Data was collected through the administration of 112 questionnaires but 93 questionnaires were retrieved and was analysed using Pearson Correlation. The results show that there is a statistically significant relationship between centralisation and employee performance, which led to the rejection of the first null hypothesis. The results also divulge that there is a statistically significant relationship between complexity and employee performance, which led to the rejection of the second hypothesis while the third null hypothesis was retained because the results show that there is no statistically significant relationship between formalisation and employee performance.
