dc.description.abstractWorkplaces and work-life generally are veritable canvasses of exploring the phenomenon called conflict. As well, the theorising by union leaders about conflict in workplaces tend to shape their members and non-members perception of ancillary realities. It however remains largely unresolved through systematic enquiries whether the degree of union member’s activeness matters in their perception of workplace and industrial conflicts. Similarly, not much is known about how unions’ location in the economic system differentiates members and non-menbers perception of workplaces and industrial conflicts. It is still being speculated whether trade unions’ sizes and their members’ perception of workplace and industrial conflicts are systematically related. These related themes were explored in this study that used the survey design methodology. Eighty Six (86) respondents completed and returned the self-constructed electronic questionnaire which contained Eighteen (18) items. Reliability test result of the instrument indicated α =0.714 level of internal and external consistency. Data analyses was done using simple percentages, ANOVA and regression analyses respectively. With F = 6.565at α = 0.012which is greater than of 0.05 (1 and 84 degrees of freedom), Ho1a was rejected that perception of workplace and industrial conflict by union members was significantly different based on union members activeness. Secondly, with F-value of 11.979at α = .001which is less than 0.05 (1 and 82 degrees of freedom), Ho2i = Ho2A,hence, the effect of member’s activeness on their perception of workplace and industrial conflict is not significantly different for public and private sector unions. Lastly, F = 3.861at α = .012which is less than 0.05 alpha level (1 and 82 degrees of freedom), H03i was rejected and its alternative which is H03A: the effect of activeness of members on their perception of workplace and industrial conflict is significantly different for unions of various sizes was accepted. The study concluded that trade unionism shaped members and non-members perception of workplace and industrial conflicts in Nigeria, with members activeness and the sizes of the unions being key moderating factors. Based on the study’s findings, it was recommended to implement policies at enterprises and national levels that promotes the role of trade unionism as a key means of moderating the negative effects of workplaces and industrial conflicts in Nigeria.
