Abstract
Recreational activities have been argued to positively influence human health and quality of life. This study investigates the influence of recreation and holiday practices on the attitudes and performance of workers in manufacturing companies. Multistage sampling technique was adopted to select samples; purposive sampling method was employed in selecting Lagos and Ogun State and three Local Government Areas in each based on the concentration of manufacturing companies they have. Purposive and availability sampling was further used to select companies above ten years old and workers that have spent above five years and willing to partake in the study. Snow-balling method was lastly employed to select 300 respondents from the companies. Data were collected through the use of questionnaire and further analysed and presented through the use of tables, chart, simple percentages and t-test. Result revealed that there is no significant relationship (p = 0.177) between recreation and holiday practices and employee job satisfaction. The study however found that there is a significant relationship (p = 0.001) between recreation and holiday practices and employee performance.
