Abstract: In the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the relationship between alienation, participation, and anxiety with respect to worker efficiency. The study was conducted in a file manufacturing unit having a total strength of 48 workers. Two groups of workers were identified with high efficiency and low efficiency on the basis of 3rd and 1st quartiles. There are 12 workers in the high efficiency group and 13 in the low efficiency group. Obtained results indicate that alienation and participation relate significally for the high efficiency group but no significant relationship was observed for the low efficiency group. Anxiety was negatively and significantly related to efficiency only for the combined groups. A negative but insignificant correlation was obtained between anxiety and efficiency for the high efficiency group; it is positive for the low efficiency group.Anxiety was negatively and significantly related to efficiency only for the combined groups. A negative but insignificant correlation was obtained between anxiety and efficiency for the high efficiency group; it is positive for the low efficiency group.
