Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the correlation between work-life balance and employee commitment in plastic manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria. Research Methodology: A descriptive survey design was employed, the questionnaire was used to elucidate information from respondents while regression analysis was used to test the stated hypotheses and determine the relationships between the variables in the study. Results:–life balance-continuance commitment had a positive but minor impact on employees' commitment, normative commitment had a substantial negative influence on employees' commitment, and affective commitment had a strong positive relationship with employees' dedication. Limitations: This study was limited to plastic manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria. It is expected that the financial and health sectors, which are known to have stiff working conditions, should be researched to support or contradict this current finding. Contribution: This study is expected to serve as a working tool for SME operators, manufacturing firms, policymakers, and the government, as offering a healthy work-life balance can be a significant factor in attracting top talent.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined job crafting (JC) and the role it could play in reducing brain drain in universities in Nigeria. Research Methodology: -it adopted a survey research design, with its population consisting of 8051 academic staff of six selected universities in the Southeast. A sample size of 367 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) formula. The source of data collection was a structured questionnaire. A combination of descriptive and inferential statistics was used for data analysis. Results–among others, the result revealed that there are ways academics can craft their jobs in universities in Nigeria and that there is a significant mean difference among the various dimensions of job crafting activities carried out by academics. Limitations: The study looked at a particular section of Nigeria, thereby, limiting the inference power of the findings. Contributions: None of the previous studies seem to have focused solely on how job crafting is done and which one is more prominent among lecturers in Nigeria. Similarly, none also appear to have looked at job crafting and how it can be used to reduce brain drain in Nigerian Universities.
