Abstract:
The study examined the effect of withdrawal behaviours on organizational performance by using selected manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria as the study area. The study adopted a survey research method approach. From a population of 273 senior employees of the two firms under investigation, a sample of 162 was estimated using Taro Yameni's statistical formula for calculating a study sample from a finite population of interest. The primary statistical tool of analysis was the Chi-Square (?2) test of independence, which was conducted at 0.05 level of significance and 16 degrees of freedom (df). Findings suggest that the identified withdrawal behaviours in likes as employee turnover intention, absenteeism, and employee lateness to work, have a significant adverse effect on organizational performance. The study concludes that command and control rather than participative organizational structure and poor reward management are responsible for the employees' withdrawal behaviours. It was recommended among others that management should avoid any situation that can make employees contemplate leaving the organization because of its enormous cost to the organization.
