CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND TO THE RESEARCH PROBLEM.
To make the best use of people as a valuable resource of the organization, attention must be given to the relationship between staff, and the nature and content of their jobs. The nature of the work organization and the design of jobs can have a significant effect on the job satisfaction of the staff. Job satisfaction is defined as an individual’s reaction to the job experience. Berry (1997). However, my interest was aroused in carrying out this research in view of certain attitudes, feelings and abilities being exhibited by the officers of the Nigeria immigration service, Anambra state command in respect to their job. Hence, the need for the study; in order to determine how variables such as pay, promotion, benefits, supervisor, co- works, work conditions, safety, communication, productivity and the work itself influence the way the officers feel about the job. Each of these factors figures into an individual’s job satisfaction differently. Also, this paper highlights the importance of organizational commitment for effective research. Herscovich and Meyer defined organizational commitment as the degree to which an employee identifies with the goals and values of the organization and is willing to exert effort to make it succeed. My interest was also aroused to carry out this study in order to establish the degree of commitment towards the goals and values of the Nigeria Immigration service by its officers. It has been suggested by Cyert and March (1963), Mangham (1979) and Mintzerg (1983) that an
organization is really a coalition of interest groups, where political processes are inevitable part of everyday life. Coopey and Hartley (1991) argue that if employees are expected and encouraged to commit themselves tightly to a single set of values and goals they will not be able to cope with the ambiguities and uncertainties that are endemic in organizational life in terms of change. Values can be defined in ways that allow for freedom of choice within broad guidelines.
