Abstract

Although industrial harmony is essential for achieving academic excellence and maintaining a productive educational system in Nigeria, incidents of industrial disharmony in tertiary institutions have become increasingly frequent, intense, widespread, and prolonged. In light of this, the study investigated the causal relationship between industrial disharmony and employee performance in selected tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States. Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, the study employed a structured survey instrument to collect data from a sample of 243 employees, randomly selected from Delta State University, Abraka; University of Benin, Benin City; Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara; Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi; Delta State College of Education, Warri; and the College of Education, Igueben, Edo State. The research was grounded in the industrial relations system theory, which provides an analytical framework for understanding a broad range of industrial relations practices and phenomena. Six hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance, with data analysis conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 23.0, 2020). Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that poor implementation of promotion policies significantly increased grievance frequency; non-implementation of agreements significantly heightened the occurrence of strike actions; union leaders’ integrity had a significant positive impact on employee welfare; and industrial union strikes significantly contributed to poor employee performance in tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States. The study concluded that industrial harmony positively and significantly affects employee performance in these institutions. Among the recommendations, the study emphasized the importance of sincere engagement between tertiary institutions and workers’ unions through collective bargaining. This approach would help workers better understand the challenges and constraints faced in addressing their demands. Moreover, fostering a harmonious work environment relies more on mutual understanding between unions and institutional management rather than on fully satisfying the demands of both parties, which may not always be feasible.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of work ethics on organizational performance in the public service sectors of Delta and Rivers states. Using a cross-sectional research design, data were collected through a structured survey from a sample of 506 employees randomly selected from both states. The study was grounded in labour process theory and agency theory. Labour process theory highlights how organizations can limit employee autonomy by implementing control mechanisms to enhance work performance. Meanwhile, agency theory emphasizes the use of decision-making rights to ensure effective governance, management, and the establishment of incentives and sanctions within an organization. A systematic random sampling method was used to select survey respondents, and the data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that work ethics encompassing work attitude, workplace commitment, teamwork, and workplace discipline, had a significant and positive impact on organizational performance in the public services of Delta and Rivers states. Additionally, the study identified a linear positive relationship between work ethics practices and organizational performance. This indicates that work ethics not only hold sentimental value but are also critical for enhancing public service performance and sustaining service delivery in Nigeria. The study concluded that work ethics positively influence organizational performance in Delta and Rivers states' public service. The ethical principles outlined in the Nigerian public service code play a key role in guiding civil servants towards behaviors that improve organizational outcomes. As a recommendation, leaders in the public service of Delta and Rivers states, as well as across Nigeria, should prioritize staff training on workplace ethics. Such efforts would help improve employee attitudes, commitment, teamwork, and discipline, ultimately fostering better performance amidst evolving workplace dynamics. The study was limited to the public service sectors in Delta and Rivers states. It is recommended that future research expand to include other states across Nigeria to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
