Work-Place Cordial Relationships and Job Satisfaction: Evidence from Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Abuja Command

Abstract

The research is a study of work-place cordial relationships and job satisfaction: evidence from Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Abuja Command. The study population is four hundred (400), being the number of NSCDC personnel in Abuja command. The study adopted Watson (2001) statistical formula and scale for determining sample size based on 95 percent confidence level. A margin error of 0.05 and a variability degree of 20 percent was used due to the homogeneous nature of the study population, while a sample of fifty (50) was drawn for the study. Data were collected using questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics, tables with frequencies, simple percentages, regression using Kendall’s correction and inferential statistics were used as tools for analysis of the data generated for the study. Findings suggest that there is a very good workplace cordial relationship amongst personnel of the corps, which has enhanced job satisfaction in the organisation. The study recommends that the spirit and tempo of the good workplace relationship which hitherto has existed in the NSCDC and led to job satisfaction amongst officers and men should be maintained and further enhanced.
