This study was conceived to determine the factors influencing industrial harmony among health care professionals in UNTH, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu State. The study was specifically aimed at
assessing the influence of interdisciplinary collaboration, workplace communication and equitable remuneration among health care professionals on industrial harmony. The study used a
descriptive survey design. Non probability purposive sampling was used to select medicine, nursing, pharmacy and medical laboratory science disciplines. The population of study was 1371, with a sample size of 300 health care professionals,consisting of eighty doctors, one
hundred and ten nurses, twenty pharmacists and fourteen Medical Laboratory Scientists.A researcher-developed questionnaire was employed to collect data from the respondents. Analysis
of Variance was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that the perceived influence of interdisciplinary collaboration among health care professionals on
industrial harmony was statistically significant with the health care professionals reporting a favourable interdisciplinary collaboration (2.86 ±0.76, p= 0.0000). Theperceived influence of
workplace communication among health care professionals on industrial harmony was statistically significant with the respondents reporting poor workplace communication among the
health care professionals and with the management (2.31 ±0.79, p= 0.0160). The result for
influence of equitable remuneration of health care professionals on industrial harmony was
notstatistically significant, with the health care professionals reporting dissatisfaction with their
remunerations (2.49 ±1.00, p=0.821). The result showed that there existed good interdisciplinary
collaboration among health care professionals but also a need for improvement and a more
inclusive approach. Workplace communication among health care professionals in UNTH needs
improvement to promote healthy working environment. Health care professionals’ remuneration
was not very satisfactory and a more equitable remuneration is neededto boost industrial harmony and help forestall industrial disharmony.
