Dignity of Labour as the Bedrock of a Productive Society: Perspectives from the Nigerian Experience

Abstract

The work that an individual engages in shapes and fulfils human dignity by providing for one's need and that of his/her family as it allows an individual to contribute his/her own quota to the progress of a business venture, enterprise, or organization either personal or otherwise, and to appreciate the usefulness of such contributions. The respect for, protection of, and promotion of the dignity of the individual in the workplace should therefore be the ultimate aim that individual and organizations must strive for as this will help in creating Nigerian workplaces that are dignified, and when there are dignified workplaces, the society becomes more and more productive.
