Abstract
The purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of employee grievance
management on organization performance using Olam Grains, Ilorin as a case study.Data
was collected through a time tested questionnaire from 90 respondents from Olam Grains
Limited in Ilorin, Kwara State. Chi-square was used to determine the relationship between
grievance management and employees performance of employees. The results of the
correlation indicated a positive relationship between effective grievance resolution practices
and employees performance at 0.01 level of significance. Furthermore, the study revealed a
positive correlation at 0.01 level of significance between management’s preparedness and
willingness to resolve employees’ grievances and employees’ performance. Table analysis
showed that 33% of the variance in employees performance was accounted for by
management’s preparedness and willingness to resolve employees grievances. In view of this,
the management needs to pay special attention to effective grievance resolution practices and
be prepared and willing to resolve employees’ grievances in order to enhance the
performance of unionized employees.
