Abstract
The study examined Position Power Management and Workplace Harmony in the Construction Sector in Rivers State. Primary data were collected using questionnaire administered on randomly selected workers of some construction firms in Rivers State. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data generated. Specifically, Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient and t - test were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The study revealed that Coercion, Delegation, Responsiveness and Consultation have no significant relationship with Strike frequency and Grievance. It also reveals that Leadership and Organizational culture have moderating effects on Workplace Harmony. The study further revealed that though coercion, delegation, responsiveness and consultation have no significant effect on strike frequency and grievances but it impacts positively on workplace harmony depending on their application. In the light of the findings of the study and the conclusions reached the study recommends that managers should adopt the most suitable leadership style that will guarantee the attainment of set objectives; the leadership and organizational culture should be properly entrenched to moderate actions and policies of the organization; managers should take into consideration the rights of the workers and give them a voice in the decision making process.
