Background to the StudyValue maximization of stakeholders is one of those strategic objectives dominating the concern of deposit money banks in Nigeria. This objective is very strategic because it acts as a determining factor for their existence and consequently a resolution of the conflict between profit maximization of shareholders and value maximization as opined by Bergant (2020). Stakeholders always place higher priority on the maximization of their value; hence they usually lend legitimacy to organizations that fulfill such objective within their environment. By stakeholders, we mean those whose action or inaction can alter the decision of organizations and by and large threaten their existence (Sterling, Betley, Sigouin, Gomez, Toomey, Cullman, & Porzecanski, 2017).According to Ozili (2020), stakeholders of deposit money banks are broadly classified into two.

For employees of deposit money banks, their values are salaries packages, emoluments, allowance, pension and gratuity payable monthly or annually and as terminal benefits during retirement. The value of these employees are enhanced when salaries and emoluments are paid as at when due and regularly experiencing constant increase in line with industry standard and as business volumes of the banks increase with consistent earnings (Buzzelli, 2019).It is worrisome to note that when some of these banks are declaring huge profits, the employees are sometimes neglected; casualization is still the order of the day despite the pronouncement by the industrial and labour union of the financial institution, Association of senior staff of banks and financial institution (ASSBFI) against this unwholesome act. Some staff in the banks are laid off without any terminal benefits, some suffer permanent dislocation as a result of job
