The study investigated the moderating role of adhocracy culture on the nexus between business intelligence and human capital efficiency of private security firms in Rivers State, Nigeria.  The proxies of business intelligence were data warehousing and online analytical processing. The theoretical foundation of the study was underpinned by the dynamic capabilities theory and underlying philosophical paradigm was positivism. The research adopted a cross-sectional survey design, with a structured questionnaire based on a Likert’s five-point scale. The target population was 46 private security firms in Rivers State which are registered with the Association of Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria. However, the elements of the accessible population were restricted to 180 Senior staff drawn from the private security firms. The Krejcie and Morgan’s table was utilized to determine a sample size of 123 respondents, and the simple random sampling was adopted. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling was deployed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significance level. The study found that there is no significant relationship between data warehousing and human capital efficiency, and there is a weak negative and no significant relationship online analytical processing and human capital efficiency. The study concludes that both data warehousing and OLAP are not important drivers of human capital efficiency within the context of private security firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. Moreso, adhocracy culture does not significantly moderate the relationship between business intelligence and human capital efficiency of private security firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. Therefore, it was recommended that Managers of private security firms in Rivers State should find better ways of improving human capital efficiency, other than data warehousing and OLAP, such as ensuring data accuracy and training employees on effective data utilization. Furthermore, they should examine how other contextual factors like technological adoption and organizational size, could possibly moderate the nexus between business intelligence and human capital efficiency.
