Abstract
Employee work attitude remains a critical determinant of organizational effectiveness within local government administrations in Nigeria. This study examines the factors influencing work attitude among employees in the Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. Drawing on established public administration and organizational psychology literature, the research investigates how leadership style, job satisfaction, workplace environment, remuneration, organizational culture, and perceived fairness shape employee attitudes toward work. The study employed a mixed-method design, integrating quantitative survey responses from 120 staff members with qualitative interviews to enrich and deepen the contextual understanding of the findings. Findings indicate that supportive leadership, equitable compensation, and a conducive work environment significantly predict positive work attitudes, while bureaucratic constraints and inadequate career progression opportunities contribute to negative dispositions. The study concludes that targeted reforms addressing motivation, employee welfare, and administrative transparency are essential to improving work attitudes within local government structures. Recommendations for strengthening employee engagement and enhancing public service delivery are discussed
