Background of the Study
Employee grievances, defined as formal or informal complaints raised by employees regarding work-related issues, can significantly impact an organization’s culture, productivity, and performance (Ogunbiyi & Usman, 2024). These grievances may arise from a variety of factors, including unfair treatment, poor working conditions, lack of career development opportunities, or disputes with colleagues or supervisors. When grievances are left unresolved, they can lead to decreased employee morale, increased turnover, and a decline in organizational effectiveness (Abdullahi & Bala, 2023).
BUA Group, a leading conglomerate with operations in Jigawa State, has a significant workforce across various industries, including cement manufacturing, food production, and logistics. Managing employee grievances effectively is essential for maintaining a positive work environment and ensuring smooth operations. The company has established grievance mechanisms to address complaints and maintain a healthy work atmosphere. However, there is limited research on the relationship between employee grievances and organizational performance within the context of BUA Group.
