A Critical Assessment of Environmental Impact on Workers Productivity in Nigeria

S.T. Akinyele

Abstract: It is generally acknowledged that the productivity of Nigerian workers is rather low. A major challenge of this research therefore was to ascertain the extent to which the environment has influenced the productivity of worker in both the public and the private sector of the Nigerian economy. To this end, a descriptive survey research design was employed and, a sample of 300 employers was drawn from among many organisations in both sectors that are located in metropolitan Lagos. Investigation revealed that factors in both the external and internal work environment as well as employment policies as they currently obtain are unfavourable to the enhancement of labour productivity. It is therefore imperative for governments at the federal and state levels to explore ways of improving and updating infrastructural facilities in order to make the work environment more conducive for enhancement of labour productivity. Similarly, job and organisationally related factors and employment policies must be looked into by the respective employers for possible reviews so as to make them more favourable and thereby challenge workers to be more productive.

Infrastructure and condition of service are very important in a workers productivity. Most Nigerians are underemployed, it affects there psych. Employers cause them do work under duress and unnecessary pressure cum threats.

This study is timely.
