1Introduction
From one standpoint, human resources are the most important asset in the organization. From another point of view, management is responsible for organizing, coordinating, planning labor and other organizational resources in order to achieve the stated goals and objectives; Bratton & Gold (2003, 357). This situation creates a necessity of employer-employee relation-ship, which is good for the growth of any organization. Many researchers have carried out extensive research on productivity in organizations, but only relatively few studies have been conducted in the context examined in this thesis report which is the employee and manage-ment relationship in the oil producing industries. It is based on this background that I am mo-tivated to fill the gap, by carrying out a practical study on evaluating and analyzing employee and management as it affects an oil producing company in Nigeria.
For a better and clearer perception of this research work, there would be an understanding about what the topic entails and its benefits in an organization. The researcher would also like to state that relationships between employees and management differ from one company to another, as well as one country to another. How to create a good relationship between employee and management so as to increase productivity has been the subject of many stud-ies, examples of such relationship creation could be seminars, conferences, and workshops. It is well known that productivity is a critical factor in economics and social development, for it determines the standard of living of people of a country. When productivity is high, organiza-tions earn higher incomes with very good profit which leaves the organization in a better po-sition to stay in business and there will be job security for employees. But when productivity is low, there will be unemployment and employee lay-offs.

To improve employee-management relations, there has to be a certain degree of compatibil-ity between employee and management. An employee will be highly dedicated, productive and also co-operative if he\she believes that by such co-operation his\her interest would be protected. This topic cannot be over emphasized because employee-management relationship is vital to the success of any company or business. If employees are not happy, then it is un-likely that they will make the customers happy. The organization is therefore throwing its profits and its business away. To be more precise, management should have the interest of employees at heart so as to know their needs and methods of satisfying those needs. There is a general belief that if the employee is recognized in the scheme of things within the organi-zation, the positives are expected such as readiness to put in their best in terms of promoting efficiency, and reducing or eliminating waste.

This study will concentrate on the effect of employee-management relation as one of the measures to increase productivity in Mobil producing Nigeria Unlimited, Nigeria (a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation).
1.1Background to the Company
Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPN) was chosen by the researcher as a case study in which research study will be conducted for the thesis.
