The study adopted the cross-sectional sun•ey research design to collect data for the study. The OLS regression model was used in analyzing the data. The results showed that, in the brewe1y industry, when superiors rely highly 011 accounting peiformance measures in high task uncertainty situatio11; or when superiors place low reliance on accounting pe1jormance measure in low task uncertainty situation as a criterion to evaluate subordinate managers; subordinates seek relief by engaging in dysfunctional behaviours. The results are in tandem with the role theory "~'.'hie/~ suggests that organizational factors may influence the development of role expectations and role pressures which may lead to dysfunctional behaviour on the part of subordinates. The study recommends that, whe11 evaluating subordinates' performances in the brewery industry, the superior should place high emphasis on the actual performance against the expected pe1jormance of their subordinates so as to ave11 role ambiguity and strategic behaviour that might result to the incidence of dysfunctional behaviour.application/pdfH Social Sciences (General)Article
