The study examines the effect of employee relations on the employees’ performance in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Abuja, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study with the use of structured questionnaire to obtain the required information from the respondents. The descriptive statistics employed involved simple percentages and tables, while correlation analysis was utilized as the inferential statistics. The findings of the study established positive and significant relationship between labour - management relations and employees’ work performance in the ministry. The study therefore recommends improved effective communication between the management and the entire workforces; the superiors and subordinates; and co-staff so as not to only minimize disputes, but to as well reduce any misunderstanding that may arise in the ministry in future, while also affording these workers with the opportunity to interchange ideas, opinions and feelings with the management of the ministry.
