This current paper was quantitative. Research instrument – A structured research questionnaire. The study surveyed 292 permanent underground miners’ from 2 idiosyncratic reefs. Using SPSS version 24.0, the empirical findings suggested that miners’ perceptions of exogenous factors were satisfactory even though their average production output was unsatisfactory.
