post facto research which utilized cross sectional survey approach. One hundred and
ninety (190) participants were sampled using stratified sampling technique. Three
hypotheses were tested using independent sample t-test and multiple regression analysis
at 0.05 level of significance. The result shows that that there was a statistically significant
difference between high and low employees job satisfaction on organizational
commitment (t (198) =4.63, df=198;p<0.05).The result, further demonstrated that
there was statistically significant gender difference on organizational commitment (t
(198) =4.73, df=198; p<0.01); male scored higher (M=86.37; SD= 15.14) on
organisational commitment compared to their female counterparts (M = 74.98;
SD=18.21). Also, the result revealed that there was significant joint prediction of
demographic factors on organisational commitment {F (3, 84) =7.369, R2=.208,
p<.0l}, and independently, marital status (â=-0.25, t=-2.40, p<.05), length of service
(â=-0.41, t=3.51, p<.05), and educational qualification (â=-0.15, t=-3.82, p<.05)
were all independently significant predictors of organisational commitment.Therefore,
