Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between electronic security measures and the effective management of supermarkets and grocery stores in Bayelsa State. Specifically, it examines the impact of CCTV cameras, electronic payment systems, and electronic store-keeping on managerial effectiveness. A quantitative research methodology was adopted, utilizing a survey research design with data collected from 42 supermarket and grocery store managers and employees through structured questionnaires. Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze the data via SPSS. The findings indicate a statistically significant positive correlation between electronic security measures and effective management. Among the variables, electronic store- keeping exhibited the highest correlation (0.647), followed by CCTV cameras (0.631) and electronic payment systems (0.577), all significant at the 0.01 level (p = 0.000). These results suggest that implementing electronic security systems enhances managerial efficiency by improving security, financial transactions, and inventory control. The study recommends that supermarket and grocery store owners invest in modern security technologies to optimize operational performance, reduce losses, and enhance customer satisfaction.
