HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT IN REPOSIT MONEY BANKS IN NIGER DELTA REGION OR NIGERIA

Abstract

This research investigated the correlation between Human Resource Management practices (HRMP) and organizational commitment (OC). The study sampled 410 employees randomly selected from 21 deposit money banks in Nigeria's Niger Delta Region. Employing a quasi-experimental research design, data was gathered through a cross-sectional survey. The analysis utilized the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Model via the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 15. The findings demonstrated a positive and statistically significant association between HRM practices and employees' commitment to their organizations in deposit money banks within the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. Specifically, employee training and development, reward management, performance feedback, and employee empowerment were identified to significantly influence employees' commitment to these organizations. Consequently, the study concludes that these practices play pivotal roles in bolstering employees' commitment to organizations within the deposit money banks of Nigeria's Niger Delta Region. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings were also discussed.
