INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Man wherever he is, be it at home, school, or even the company he keeps is always influenced by his internal environment. The reason being that he is easily assimilated into the totality of his environment.
Generally, internal environment refers to one’s immediate surroundings including water, air, land in which one lives
that influence one’s life.
But for the purpose of this research, the internal environment here shall be referred to as elements within the work environment, such as working environment, management style, inter-relationship amongst staff, and motivational factors – incentives, salary increase, and opportunity to develop oneself.
These have effects on the overall performance of an employee. An improved work environment will result in a reduction in the number of complaints and absenteeism and will bring an increase in productivity, Roelofson (2002).
