Abstract

This paper empirically analysed the concept of superior-subordinate relationship and employees’ commitment to the core beliefs of the organisation in the public universities of Southwestern, Nigeria by identifying various key issues in superior-subordinate relationship and employees’ commitment; determining the effect of the superior-subordinate relationship on employees’ commitment and also investigated the extent of the effect of superior-subordinate relationship on employees’ commitment as well as the role of leadership styles in subordinates’ commitment and those challenges encountered in the course of instituting acceptable superior-subordinate relationship and employees’ commitment. The population for the study has a total number of twelve public universities in the Southwestern, Nigeria (Federal and State) with 12,346 academic staff from which a total number of 1,440 respondents were chosen i.e 120 respondents from each of the universities representing 12% of the population through the purposive sampling technique with reference to the stratified sampling procedure which ensures proportional representation of the population sub-group and random sampling technique was used in the course of administering the questionnaire to 1440 respondents. The result of the findings showed that the correlation between superior-subordinate relationship and employees’ commitment was a positive but it was a weak relationship at 0.05 level of sig. thus, recommended that the culture of the organisation should be designed and tailored along the tradition, values, norms and beliefs of the people in that environment for acceptability of the ways things are being done in the organisation in order to sustain relationship and commitment.

尼日利亚西南公立大学上下级关系与员工对组织核心信念的承诺研究
本文通过对尼日利亚西南公立大学上下级关系概念和员工对组织核心信念的承诺进行实证分析,找出上下级关系和员工承诺中的各种关键问题;确定上下级关系对员工承诺的影响,并调查上下级关系对员工承诺的影响程度,以及领导风格在下属承诺中的作用,以及在建立可接受的上下级关系和员工承诺过程中遇到的挑战。该研究的人口在西南部共有12所公立大学,尼日利亚(联邦和州),共有12,346名学术人员,从中选择了1,440名受访者,即来自每所大学的120名受访者,占人口的12%,通过参考分层抽样程序的有目的抽样技术,确保人口亚组的比例代表性,并在对1440名受访者进行问卷调查的过程中使用随机抽样技术。研究结果表明,上下级关系与员工承诺之间存在正相关关系,但在0.05的标志水平上呈弱相关关系。因此,建议组织文化应根据该环境中人们的传统、价值观、规范和信仰来设计和定制,以使组织中正在做的事情能够被接受,以维持关系和承诺。EN-US X-NONE AR-SA /*样式定义*/表。mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size: 0;mso-tstyle-colband-size: 0;mso-style-noshow:是的;mso-style-priority: 99;mso-style-parent:“”;mso- font - family:宋体;mso-para-margin-top: 0;mso-para-margin-right: 0;mso-para-margin-bottom: 8.0分;mso-para-margin-left: 0;行高:107%;mso-pagination: widow-orphan;字体大小:11.0分;字体类型:“Calibri”、“无衬线”;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;}
