Humanization of Work in Industry: the Nigerian Experience

By Dr Clifford Ejim Orisakwe

Beyond Wages: Redefining Work and Dignity in Post-Colonial Nigeria

In post-colonial Nigeria, work is more than just a means of survival. This book explores the shift towards dignified labor, where self-development, job security, and participation redefine the role of the worker.

Humanisation of Work: A Nigerian Experience offers an analysis of the Nigerian working environment in the immediate post-colonial era.

This work focuses on three aspects: the modern concept of work organization, the traditional work organization in Nigeria, field research and methodology.

This volume delivers a description of the Nigerian working class by pointing out its weaknesses, potentials and areas of development.

The main aim of this thesis has been to show that, in the life of the worker and his family, work is not only a means to satisfying material needs. Although income is still a very important factor, security of employment and more humane working conditions are taking on increasing significance.

Humanization of work does not only mean ergonomic factors but also provides scope for self-development and participation in decision-making processes.
