These research works examine Industrial Conflict, Implications to the achievement of institutions objectives with the Non- Academic staff. In achieving this aim four research objectives were established namely: To find the possible source of industrial conflict in the University of Uyo, Uyo; to determine ways in which industrial conflict hindered the achievement of institution objectives; to ascertain the implications of industrial conflict in the institution; and to examine how industrial conflict could be controlled in the university. Members of the Non Academic Staff Union of Uyo, Uyo Constituted the study population with the sample size of 400 drawn, using Yaro Yamani statistical method, The major finding of the study revealed that; the study of industrial conflict in the university of Uyo, Uyo helped to identified possible causes such as lack of improved staff warfare, irregular promotion; and that the study of industrial conflict could helped provide solution to the situation. In testing the hypothesis, Chi-Square (X2) formula was used whereby calculated values (245.6 and 300.2) were greater than the table value (3.841), hence the alternate hypothesis was upheld that was the significant relationship between the industrial conflict and the achievement of the institution’s objectives. It was therefore recommended among others, that since industrial conflict could disrupt the academic calendar of university to the detriment of students, both the management and the workers should be practices in handling the situation.
