    This study investigates the effect of the uncertainty avoidance index on employee productivity within the Kwara State public service. The research addresses the critical need to understand and integrate cultural dynamics into workforce management to drive higher productivity levels. Specifically, it examines how employees’ preferences for risk-taking initiatives and predictability influence their performance in a public sector environment. By exploring this relationship, the study aims to bridge the gap in understanding the role of cultural dimensions in shaping employee outcomes and enhancing organizational efficiency.Utilizing a survey research design, the study draws data from a population of 32,500 public service employees. Primary data were collected from 395 respondents across various ministry and parastatal headquarters located in Ilorin, the state capital, using structured questionnaires.Using regression analysis, the results reveal that uncertainty avoidance index has a significant effect on employee productivity(β = 0.581; t = 3.827; & p-value <0.005) at a 95% confidence level. These findings accentuate the importance of cultural dimensions in shaping organizational outcomes, particularly in public sector environments where clarity and structure are essential to effective service delivery. The study concludes that addressing employees’ cultural preferences for certainty and stability can enhance productivity and recommends structured work environments, comprehensive training programs, and culturally informed policy-making as strategies for improving performance in the Kwara State public service.
