Abstract

This research aims at investigating the predictive ability of social media use, religiosity and social support on mental health among undergraduate samples in Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Data were collected from 401 undergraduates using validated questionnaires and analyzed using hierarchical   multiple regression to test one hypothesis which was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The result revealed that social media use, religiosity and social support jointly predicted mental health among study participants [R2 = .31, F (3, 398) = 28.952, p <.001). Furthermore the result showed that social media use (β =.193, p <.001) and religiosity (β = .45, p <.001) independently predicted mental health among study participants. The study concluded that social media use, religiosity and social support are strong predictors of mental health among undergraduate samples. It is recommended that the university authority should sensitize the students on the proper use of social media while the parents and other stakeholders should provide social support to the students to reduce any negative effects on their mental health.

Abstract

Turnover intention has remained an emerging issue in university system every year in Nigeria. As the university system continue to experience increasing number of staff turnover, investigating some of the predictors of turnover intention become imperative. Therefore, this study examines the predictive ability of work group functioning and occupational stress on turnover among academic and non-academic staff in a Nigerian university. Cross-sectional design was utilized while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Social Exchange Theory anchored the study. Data were collected from 250 academic and non-academic staff of the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo using validated scales. Data collected were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression to test hypothesis that was accepted at p < .001 level of significance. The result indicated that work group functioning and occupational stress were statistically significant predictors of turnover intention among study participants. In addition, work group functioning and occupational stress were statistically significant  independently predictors of turnover intention among study participants. The study concludes that work group functioning and occupational stress are  marginally contributed to turnover intention among study participants. The study recommends that the Nigerian university HR strategies should include putting in place an enabling work environment that reduces stress and  turnover intention.
