Casualization of Employment and Work Behavior of Employees: A Study of Some Selected Industries in Ilorin

almost every organization. Without a doubt, Nigeria has not been an exception especially as the reports by the International Labor Organization (ILO, 2009) and the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC, 2016) show that the majority of workers in the banking sector, oil and gas sector, telecommunication industries and the manufacturing companies are casual workers. It was against this setting that this study examined the effect of casualization of employment on the work behavior of employees of two selected industries in Ilorin. The study adopted a survey research design. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics (simple percentage, frequency table) and inferential statistics (chi-square analysis). The study revealed that casualization of work is not a strange phenomenon to workers of the selected organization but the majority of them were not satisfied with the act. Finally, the study recommends that the NLC should be more proactive and find a means to reduce the menace of casual work.
