ABSTRACT

This paper examines the application of Christian work ethics to the work attitude of the staff of the University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Every university strives to achieve the goals and objectives that established it. However, no university can ever achieve its goals with weak/ bad work ethic. It argues that for the University of Uyo to effectively achieve its vision and goals, both the employer (the Federal Government) and the staff of the university must take their duties and responsibilities with a sense of commitment to strong work ethics by inculcating the prescription and principles of the Christian work ethics. The employer must put in place a mechanism that encourages good work ethics by ensuring proper funding of the university system. While, the employees must endeavour to apply daily in their workplace the principles of the Christian work ethic: integrity, honesty, hard work, respect, justice, discipline and sincerity. It concludes that the inculcation of the prescription of the Christian work ethics principles by the university staff will enable them to be committed to their work. This will, in turn, help the university achieve its vision as a centre of academic excellence.
