Abstract

Organisational commitment remains the backbone of growth and development in for-profit and nonprofit organisations. However, studies investigating organisational commitment in educational sectors have produced different results. Therefore, this study examined the predictability of job satisfaction and self-esteem on organisational commitment among non-academic staff in a Nigerian federal university. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, a purposive sampling technique was used to select one federal University, and a convenience sampling technique was used to select participants to administer the questionnaires. Data were collected from 292 participants using validated scales and analysed using independent samples t-test and multiple regression analysis. At the same time, the hypotheses tested were accepted at a p < .05 level of significance. The result revealed that job satisfaction and self-esteem jointly predicted organisational commitment among study participants [R2 = .05, F (2,291) =7.37, p < .05]. Moreover, the results showed that job satisfaction independently predicted organisational commitment among study participants (β =.22, p <.05). However, self-esteem did not independently predict organisational commitment among study participants (β =.08, p >.05]. The study concluded that job satisfaction more than self-esteem tends to predict organisational commitment among study participants strongly. It is recommended that human resources planning units in higher institutions should put in place robust programmes that would enhance organisational commitment among their employees.

Abstract

This study investigated academic impairment and social support as predictors of resilient behavior among physically-challenged students. Cross-sectional research design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select Lagos and Ekiti States, South-west Nigeria. Data were conveniently collected from 374 physically-challenged students using validated scales. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regression and t-test of independent samples to test four hypotheses at p 0.01 level of significance. The results indicated that academic impairment and significant others support independently predicted resilient behavior among physically-challenged students. Also, the result revealed that academic impairment and social support jointly predicted resilient behavior among study participants. The study concluded academic impairment and significant others' support are important predictors of resilient behavior among physically-challenged students.

Abstract

Various stakeholders, including the government, have often neglected the educational needs of physically challenged in-school adolescents in Nigeria. Empirical studies examining the relationship between academic impairment, social support, and resilient behavior in this population remain scarce, particularly within the Nigerian context. Therefore, this study investigated academic impairment and social support as predictors of resilient behavior among physically challenged in-school adolescents in Lagos and Ekiti States in South-West Nigeria. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to select the two states. Data were collected from 374 physically challenged in-school adolescents using validated measurement scales. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-tests to test four hypotheses at a significance level of p < 0.01. The results showed that both academic impairment and support from significant others independently predicted resilient behavior. Furthermore, academic impairment and social support jointly predicted resilience. The findings highlight the crucial role of significant others as a source of social support. The study underscores the need for the government and stakeholders to enhance infrastructure in special schools to improve learning experiences. This research is novel as it is the first to examine these variables across two Nigerian states.
