Abstract

The interrelationship between religious values and work ethics has garnered considerable attention worldwide, driven by the notion that religious values can profoundly shape an individual's behaviour and attitude towards work. This study examined the relationship between religious values and employee work ethics in the civil service of Ogun State, Nigeria. A sample of 372 employees was randomly selected from the population using a stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire which measured demographic data, religious values and employee work ethics. Descriptive statistics, simple linear regression analysis and Pearson’s correlation were used to analyze the demographic data and hypotheses formulated at the .05 level of significance. Results revealed significant influence of religious values on employee work ethics (β = .227, t = 10.438, p < .0005) and significant positive relationship between religious values and employee work ethics (r = .227, p < .05). It was subsequently recommended, among other things, that Organizations in the civil service of Ogun State, Nigeria, should consider incorporating religious values into employee development programmes to promote strong work ethics.
