Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: This study examined personal variables as predictors of job commitment of Bankers in Benin City. The researcher adopted the ex post facto research design for the study. A sample size of five hundred and six (502) bankers representing 29% of the population was drawn from banks in the study area using the proportionate random sampling technique. Organisational Commitment Scale were adopted for the study. The Cronbach reliability alphas for the scale is 0.75 for Organisational Commitment Scale. The research questions one was descriptively analyzed using mean ()and standard deviation (S.D) while the hypotheses were tested using the binary logistic regression (BLR). The entire hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Result of the study showed that personal variables –sex, age and educational qualification had significant influence on job commitment of bankers in Benin City (p<0.05). The male bankers had 5.23 times higher likelihood of being committed to their jobs than their female contemporaries. The young bankers had higher likelihood of being committed to their jobs than old and older bankers while the moderately and highly qualified bankers had higher likelihood of about 4 and 5times more chances of being more committed to their jobs than their equals who have low educational qualifications. Arising from the findings, it was recommended that bank managers should always try to encourage their subordinates by making the organizational climate conducive for them to work. This can be done by giving bankers the needed moral and financial supports such as showing some confidence in those they manages, and making themselves more approachable in times of challenges. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Personal Variables, Predictors, Job Commitment, Bankers |
