Abstract
Every human
gathering poses the propensity of having disagreement which leads to
conflict. Formal and informal
organization and association are not left out of this possibility. When people are assembled to work together as
colleagues in a particular organization, there will be a time when matters that
has to do with employment agreement and working conditions will bring about
loggerheads between the workers and the management of organization. The major
objective of this study is to examine the extend at which the working
conditions which includes working hours, leave and hazard consideration has led
to conflict and affected the productivity of employees of FANCO Rice
Mills. The study adopted the use of
questionnaire as the method of data collections using the survey design. To elicit information from respondent, the
study used the Krejcie and Morgan table for the determination of sample size to
sample 148 respondents from the total 235 employees of the organization. A total of 139 questionnaires was returned
and only 133 was found usable and complete.
The decision rule was set at 0.05 level of significance. The study found
out that poor working condition and refusal of the management to pay bonuses to
employee in event of high profit turnover has affected the relationship between
management and workers and has affected productivity. The study recommends that
FANCO rice mills should look into the working conditions in the organization
particularly issues relating to working hours, break, leave, environment of the
work and freedom of employees to offer initiatives towards ensuring
productivity remains at prime in the organization and prioritize also the
welfare of employees of the organization.
