This study seeks to identify the impact of correlated labor turn over on the morale of staff of manufacturing firm in Nigeria. morale of staff is very important and of serious interest and benefit to management who wish to enhance greater turn-over on one hand and work certification on the other. Questionnaire is used as the main instrument for the collection of data as well as personal interviews and chats. using the simple random sampling technique. The main analytical tool, used is the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that there is a negative and non-significant correlation between staff morale in the organization and job characteristics with correlation coefficient (r) of -0.04. This indicates that job characteristic has little effect on the morale of the individual staff. There is also a negative and non-significant relationship between staff morale and leadership style. On the other hand, the findings show a negative but significant relationship between staff morale and labour turnover. Recommendation is made that an attempt should be made to strike a balance between strategic goals and available resources to ensure responsibility and accountability. The widespread work slackness, weak and ineffective supervisory control, and a prevailing attitude towards work that reflects low morale, indifference and consequent poor turn-over, appear to be caused by lack of discipline at the various levels of the organizational hierarchy.
