Keywords:
Work, Nature of work, Living, Survival, NigeriaAbstract
Although, work means different thing in literature, but it is a common term used by everyone who exert efforts in order to earn something in return, except that the variation in the nature of work lead to different compensation package. Workers have different orientation to work. This is largely due to their attitude to work and management philosophy. Hence, this paper through content analysis of literature, examined the nature of work and how work determines the lifestyles and survival of Nigerian workers in Nigeria. The paper concluded among other things that the nature of one’s work determines his/her way of life and status in the society.References
