Abstract

This paper examined decline in right attitude to work and how it has contributed to Africa’s poor product life. Africa is a continent that is blessed with tremendous natural, human and material resources that are capable of catapulting the continent to an enviable position in the world. The questions that boggle the minds are: why is Africa regarded as under developed or more concisely less developed continent in the world despite these resources?  Why is the productive life of African continent at a very low level when compared with that of other continents? In an attempt to provide answers to the above questions, the paper adopted logical analysis. The paper discovered that most people do not work for personal improvement, societal development and to solve problems. This has brought about a decline in right attitude to work. The paper is concluded with the suggestion that decline in right attitude to work can be reduced by replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts, at the same time seeing work as a way to express one’s unique abilities and talents, something that we do to solve problems and not only to earn a living. This can be possible by holding on to employment meritocracy.
