Abstract
Anger is an emotion frequently expressed by employees in response to anxiety, frustration and hardship. The expression of anger attracts health and physical consequences depending on the magnitude of the situation. People do not have a choice whether to be angry or not it comes unexpected with warning signs that are destructive. Uncontrolled anger is disastrous as it affects mental health, personal and job relationship. Anger is a normal feeling that occurs on daily basis which people could exhibit negatively or positively. This study examines the effect of anger on the work behaviour of police officers in Nigeria. Thus, the findings of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between anger and the work behaviour of police officers. This is demonstrated in the increase in police brutality in Nigeria and the public response with the ENDSARS protest and subsequent destruction of Police facilities and killings. The researcher therefore, recommended that government should provide adequate condition of service, train the office, and improve staff welfare to reduce anger among the police officers in Nigeria.
