The study examined the relationship between labour disputes and employee performance at The State University of Zanzibar. Based on a case study design; 35 respondents were purposively drawn from both management and operational staff of the State University of Zanzibar. Primary and secondary data were used to collect data through questionnaires, interviews and the University based-documents.

The findings were drawn from three specific objectives; to examine the influence of physiological needs disputes on employee performance at the State University of Zanzibar, to examine influence of psychological needs disputes on employee performance at the State University of Zanzibar and to examine influence of labour negotiations on employee performance at the State University of Zanzibar. The study was theoretically guided by motivation theory as propounded by Abraham Maslow to link with the existing problem at SUZA.
