CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
It is obvious that if Nigerian society must survive, people must work. The working culture however, varies from society to society and also from organization to organization. Long et al. (2012:5) suggested that People are seeking many ways of life that is meaningful and less complicated and this new lifestyle actually has an impact on how an employee must be motivated and managed. Due to importance of work productivity, so many literatures have been written with regards to different aspects of expectations from production. Workers no matter the organization or establishment, have their expectations ranging from the issues of getting adequate payment from whatever they are doing, being secured in their place of work, being placed and recognized as significant in the organization, equipped with necessary tools, skill and equipment for the accomplishment of organization’s goals. While we see these conditions as vital for every worker, some scholars tend to see them as necessary only for managerial cadre of an organization. If the managers are well equipped with the above factors, they will be able to run their organization successfully. Consequence of this work stress, worker productivity will be affected and as we know productivity is money, in order to avoid this unhealthy situation. The organization should provide a comfortable and appropriate working environment facilities that suits humans needs ( Asmui et.al 2012).
Marx, (1978:5) in the theory of social production, clarified that wherever the production relationship is, that of master-subordinates with master exploiting the subordinates, the outcome in such organization is instability and lukewarm attitude to duty. Tek -Yew Lew, (2009:172) found that the employees’ decisions as to whether to stay in the organization may be more influenced by their affective attitudes towards the organization, which is their level of affective commitment to the organization and alternative employment opportunities available. The reward system could be financial, where workers who feel that financial reward does not commensurate to their input/production, the tendency is for workers to develop poor attitude to their work and also to the owners. Long, Perumal and Ajagbe (2012:6) noted that the role and support of top management is also critical and important criteria in ensuring a robust and good employee relation management system in place. The problem of workers apathy and lack of effort are not simply a matter of individual laziness, rather they are often healthy reaction by normal people to an unhealthy environment created by common organizational policies.
