Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Universities all over the world are recognized as centres of excellence where knowledge is not just acquired but also disseminated to society through teaching and research. These centres of excellence cannot be without the inputs of a dedicated university workforce. Unfortunately, a dedicated workforce cannot be ensured in poor work conditions. Hence, staff welfare cannot be overlooked if excellent outputs are to be ensured in the university. Because of this, this study investigated if staff work conditions is a correlate with job commitment in Ogun-Owned Universities, Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted in the study, and the sample was made up of 300 purposively drawn staff from two universities in Ogun State. A validated instrument titled “Work Conditions and Staff Job Commitment Questionnaire (IWSJCQ)” with a reliability coefficient of .85 was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) were used to analyze the data collected. Findings revealed the sampled workers have a high level of job commitment (X = 3.14), work in an adequate environment (X = 2.93), and that work conditions is a correlate of job commitment (r = 270, p=0.000 < 0.05) among university staff. The findings imply that job commitment among a university staff is a function of adequate work conditions and a conducive work environment.
