| Description |
The study investigated the influence of size of organization on workers behaviour (labour turnover, absenteeism, and job satisfaction and strike prone activity behaviour) in industrial organizations in South-Western Nigeria. This was for the purpose of determining the appropriate management strategies that could foster commitment, cooperation and compliance among industrial workers in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design. A total of 320 respondents were drawn from the selected work organizations to represent both large-scale and small-scale organizations, using proportionate stratified sampling technique. The researcher utilizes a set of questionnaire for data collection. The five hypotheses generated for the study were tested at 0.05 alpha level using Pearson product moment correlation and t test statistical methods. The findings of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between size of organization and workers behaviour. It was therefore being recommended that organizational support system should be encouraged in order to foster commitment, reduction in labour turnover, dissatisfaction, absenteeism and strike prone activity among industrial workers. Also, labour and management education that could incorporate psychological issues such as burnout, stress, interpersonal relations and conflict management should be organized for workers on continuous basis in order to foster attraction to organization among the work force.
