This study explores the influence of demographic factors and pay satisfaction and on career satisfaction among selected employees of Redeemer's University, Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a cross sectional survey research design and simple random sampling technique were used to select two hundred and twelve (212) participants (M=97 males; F= 115 females) among both academic and non-academic staffs. The Biodata form, Pay Satisfaction Scale (PSS) and Career Satisfaction Scale (CSS) were used to collect data which were further analyzed through independent t-test. The results hence revealed that there were significant differences in career satisfaction of participants among the variables of marital status (t = 1.96 p<0.05), designation (t = 2.64 p<0.05) and pay satisfaction (t = 6.41 p<0.05). While there were no significant differences in the variables of gender (t = 0.78 p>0.05) and age (t = 1.74 p>0.05). The implication of these findings substantiates the importance of creating a conducive working environment and an equity reward system in order to improve employees' career satisfaction.
This study examined some demographic and psychological predictors of teachers' commitment in Lagos State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to ascertain if teachers' perceived organizational justice will significantly affect their levels of commitment to the schools; establish the nature of relationships that exists between gender, types of schools and teachers' levels of commitment. In order to achieve these objectives, 200 participants from 16 secondary schools in Lagos State (M=103; F=97) were randomly selected to respond to the Organizational Justice Scale (OJS) and Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS). The data collected were analyzed using correlation, independent t-test and regression analysis and the results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between perceived organizational justice and teachers' commitment; female teachers reported a significantly higher level of commitment than their male counterparts, public school teachers were more committed than private school teachers. It was also revealed that gender, types of schools and organizational justice jointly accounted for sixty-
This study examines the influence of psychological empowerment on work engagement among officers of Nigerian immigration services. A survey research design was adopted and data were collected from two hundred and Twenty-five (225) participants (M= 147, F=78) using a battery of psychological test consisting of Psychological Empowerment Scale (PES) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). The data were analysed using percentages and multiple regression analysis to test the hypothesis. The results show that all the dimensions of psychological empowerment jointly accounted for 25% of the variance in employees' work engagement. Furthermore, the various dimensions of psychological empowerment contributed differently to the variance in employees' work engagement. The Beta calculations showed that the highest variation was explained by self-determination (β=0.36), followed by meaningfulness (β= 0.20), Competence (β= 0.16) and the lowest was explained by impact (β= -0.01). The findings confirm the benefits of psychologically empowering workers to enhance positive work behaviour such as work engagement.
Adolescents' social relationships have the potential to enhance or impede the successful development of their heterosexual relationship, thus, the need to examine the relationship between HIV/AIDS awareness and dating behaviour among undergraduate students. The participants in the study were one thousand six hundred undergraduates (1600: M=800 and F=800) randomly selected from eight universities in South-western part of Nigeria, in the age range 16 to 30 years old. The AIDS Awareness/ Attitude Scale (AAS) and Dating Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) with emphasis on simple percentages, Multiple Regression Analysis, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results confirm that HIV/AIDS awareness account for a significant two percent (2%) variance in university students' dating behaviour. The implication of the result for understanding the heterosexual behaviour of undergraduates and minimizing their indecent relationships were discussed and recommendations made accordingly.
