JOB ETHICS AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN AVIATION INDUSTRY IN RIVERS, NIGERIA

Abstract

The study was aimed at examining the effect of job ethics on employee performance in the aviation industry in Port Harcourt. The various concepts were reviewed and the study adopts the Justice Theory by Rawls (1971) to explain performance appraisal and Service Quality. The theory states that organizational justice refers to perceived fairness in the working place which comprises: Procedural, Distributive, Interpersonal, and Informational Justice related to performance appraisal exercise in an organization. The major conclusion drawn by the researcher was that, while it and  is unarguable that the level of responsibility to job by employees varies in terms of effort and time, a higher sense of responsibility affects how an employee works and the amount of work carried out. The study recommended that It is imperative for organizations to defreeze inherent behaviour of new employees at the point of entry and inculcate acceptable norms and values of the organization. A way to do this is by ethic socialization and training which will help employees know what makes up ethical conduct of the organization.
