Abstract
Disciplinary measures are very crucial in an organization to shape employees’ behaviour towards the achievement of its goal, but in a developing nation like Nigeria, it is other way round. However, little research has been done on the effect of disciplinary measures on employee behaviour, especially on local government employees. Therefore, the key objective of this analysis was to examine the relationship of disciplinary measures with employees’ behaviour in Offa Local Government, Kwara State. the study’s data were generated through quantitative surveys from 126 employees of the Offa Local Government Area Council of Kwara State. data gathered from the survey were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The statistical result shows that the null hypothesis was rejected while the alternative hypothesis was accepted since the p-value (H1 = 0.736) is less than 0.05 significance level. Therefore, the study revealed a significant relationship between disciplinary measures and employees’ attitude to work. Therefore, the study recommended that management should enforce discipline on workers with a particular aim of managing their behaviours and being productive in achieving the organizational goals.
