| Abstract: | The major objective of this study is to investigate the extent to which cultural influences shape the nature of rule-making methods in workplace industrial relations adopted in the textile workplaces of the Hausa and Ibo cultural groups in Nigeria. The major assumption of the study is that, if it is true that 'all the factors that bear upon organisational practices do so in the form of cultural constructs' (Sorge, 1983), then the roots of any observable differences in the choice of rule-making methods between the Hausa and the Ibo workplaces must be traceable to differences in specific cultural traditions and attitudinal characteristics of people of the cultural groups.
