METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the method that was adopted in carrying out the study.Participants
A total number of one hundred (100) workers comprising of sixty (60) males and forty (40) females were used for this study. They were drawn from the Nigerian Immigration Services, Anambra State Command. The sampling method used in the research was the simple random sampling method.Instrument
The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire termed Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), a 20-item inventory designed to assess job satisfactoriness and another questionnaire termed Organisational Commitment (OC), a 23-item inventory designed to assess the extent to which a worker is affectively attached to the achievement of goals and values of an organization.Section A contained items on Job satisfaction which was structured in the five-point Likert type scale ranging from:
Very satisfied = 5
Satisfied = 4
I am not sure = 3
Dissatisfied = 2
Very dissatisfied = 1Section B contained items on organisational commitment which was structured in the seven-point likert type scale ranging from:
Strongly Agree = 7
Moderately Agree = 6
Slightly Agree = 5
Not sure = 4
Slightly disagree = 3
Moderately disagree = 2
Strongly disagree = 1Respondents were required to indicate by circle relevant items, answers that were applicable to them. The researcher used questionnaire because questionnaire provide a quick means of obtaining respondents view on a wide range of subjects.
Validation of the instrument
The instrument for measuring job satisfaction was validated by Smith, P.C (1969). The concurrent validity coefficient obtained by Wanous, J.P (1974) for American samples=0.71 and by Mogaji ,A. A(1997) for Nigerian samples =0.50 However, the instrument measuring organizational commitment (OC) was validated by Cook and Wall (1980) who obtained a concurrent validity coefficient of 0.62.Reliability of the instrument
The instrument was tested using the equivalent forms method. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the reliability coefficient (r) of 0.68 at 0.05 level of significanceProcedure
The questionnaires were personally administered by the researcher to the respondents by Direct Delivery Technique (DDT). The instruments were collected immediately they were completed, while some officers requested for more time because they were busy. The Officers were told to choose their own (personal) response which will best suit their feelings.Design/statistics
The study is descriptive survey design, it sought the opinion of the Nigeria Immigration Officers in Anambra State on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Ali (1996) observed that survey research focuses on people, the vital facts of people and their beliefs, opinions, attitudes, motivation and behavior.
The statistics used to analyze the officers responses is the Pearson Product Moment Correlation since the determination of relationships was involved.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]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 ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE Hypothesis 1: There is a relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment among the Nigerian Immigration Officers in Anambra state. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used in analysis. From the analysis of data, table 1 reveals that the calculated value of the coefficient (r) = 0.68 is more than the table value of t = 0.164 at degree of freedom, Df = 100 at 0.05 level of significance . This indicates that there is a strong positive relationship between job sat ... Continue reading---
