ABSTRACT

It is obvious that an organization whose works attitude to work in negative or constant to the company's goals and objective is bound to have less competitive advantages over other competitors. Employees are the bedrock of every organization so even when organizations inject new technology into its system in a bid to enhance productivity, positive result may not be achieved. Recently, the Nigerian attitude to work deteriorated and thus the level of productivity in all spheres of the economy has suffered greatly.

Gossiping and loitering among the officers while neglecting duties is now the order of the day amongst workers, especially in government establishment. Some even go as far as absenting themselves from work for several days and still collect their pay at the end of the month. This has amounted to “reputing where one did not sow”. Therefore, this study will try to uncover the reason for poor work ethics and productivity in the Nigerian workers.

Its aim is to know whether workers negative attitudes to work is as a result of remuneration, poor motivation, staff recruitment and placement, leadership style of the organization and many other policies of the organization or whether it is as a result of the workers laziness and abhorrence for work.

Finally, effort will be made to proffer solution to this poor work ethics thereby helping to ameliorate the problems. The researcher chose the power holding company of Nigeria (PHCN, Owerri Branch) as a case study. This is so because of the largess of the public sector of the economy. An attempt to study the entire sector will be too cumbersome.
