Özet

The objective of the study is to examine the effect of employee commitment on labor mobility in the Nigerian banking sector. In order to accomplish the study's goal, a descriptive survey approach was used. Four purposefully selected deposit money banks operating in Lagos, Nigeria, make up the study's population and they are Guaranty Trust Bank, Access Bank, FCMB, and First Bank of Nigeria. One hundred and twenty (120) employees were selected as the sample size from the population, and a primary source of data collection was used. The instrument for gathering data was a questionnaire and this was distributed at random to the several organizational levels of the chosen deposit money banks in Lagos, Nigeria. Out of all the employees in the chosen deposit money banks, 102 employees completed and returned the questionnaire to the researcher, accounting for 85% of the total number of respondents. Regression analysis was used to ascertain the relationship between the study variables, and the data were presented in tables using frequencies and percentages. The predictor variables of employee commitment (normative, affective, and continuance) and labor mobility were found to have a positive and significant relationship, with R2 values of 0.793, 0.807, and 0.790, respectively. After that, it was concluded that employee commitment is a crucial component of labor mobility within an organization and recommended that Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria concentrate on raising employee engagement and creating a feeling of community within their staff.
