justify;">The study investigated work ethics practices and employee retention in the manufacturing industries in Lagos, Nigeria with focus on the Nigerian Breweries, Lagos as the unit of analysis. The study identified work ethics practices found operational to include integrity accountability, professionalism, and respectfulness. The corresponding relationship between these work ethics practices and employee retention was also evaluated with the view to providing information on how work ethics practices influence employee retention. The study made use of primary data with the aid of a structured questionnaire administered to 300 respondents randomly to elicit information from the selected respondents. It was found that integrity as a practice was prevalent among other practices found to be operational in the area of study and also found that there exists a significant positive relationship among all the variables of work ethics practices and employee retention where accountability practice with employee retention (r = 0.546, p &lt; 0.05), respectfulness practice with employee retention (r = 0.677, p &lt; 0.05), professionalism practice with employee retention (r = 0.658, p &lt; 0.05) and integrity practice with employee retention (r = 0.748, p &lt; 0.05). it was concluded that work ethics practice is a good cost control strategy to sustain employee retention without incurring additional costs, especially in the wake of economic recession and recovery. Thus, recommended that the management of the Nigerian Breweries should institutionalise work ethics practices and educate employees of the organisation on the essence of the practices.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В статье рассмотрено влияние методов трудовой этики на удержание сотрудников на производстве в Лагосе (Нигерия). В качестве единиц анализа изучен опыт пивоваренных предприятий. В ходе исследования были выделены различные аспекты трудовой этики, включающие честность, подотчетность, профессионализм и уважение. Соответствующая взаимосвязь между этими методами трудовой этики и удержанием сотрудников также была оценена с целью предоставления информации о том, как методы трудовой этики влияют на удержание сотрудников. В исследовании использовались первичные данные, полученные с использованием структурированного вопросника, выборка составила 300 случайных респондентов. Было обнаружено, что добросовестность как практика преобладала среди опрошенных, также было обнаружено, что существует значительная положительная связь между всеми переменными практик трудовой этики и удержанием сотрудников, где практика подотчетности с удержанием сотрудников (r = 0,546, p &lt; 0,05), практика уважения с сохранением сотрудников (r = 0,677, p &lt; 0,05), практика профессионализма с сохранением сотрудников (r = 0,658, p &lt; 0,05) и практика добросовестности с сохранением сотрудников (r = 0,748, p &lt; 0,05). На основании анализа был сделан вывод, что практика трудовой этики является действенной стратегией контроля затрат для поддержания и удержания сотрудников без дополнительных затрат, особенно после экономического спада и восстановления. Таким образом, рекомендуется, чтобы руководство нигерийских пивоварен институционализировало практику трудовой этики и обучало сотрудников организации сути этой практики.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>work ethics practices</kwd><kwd>retention</kwd><kwd>professionalism</kwd><kwd>integrity</kwd><kwd>accountability</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>практика трудовой этики</kwd><kwd>удержание</kwd><kwd>профессионализм</kwd><kwd>добросовестность</kwd><kwd>подотчетность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Oginni B.O, Olaniyan T.S, Ajibola K.S Reward and Commitment in Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization.
