Fringe Benefits Administration and Employees’ Commitment in the Lagos State Civil Service, Nigeria

摘要

The study explored the relationship between administration of fringe benefits and employees’ commitment to the service of Lagos State Government, Nigeria. A total 285 copies of questionnaire were administered on various categories of workers in the state public service through systematic sampling technique, out of which 272 were recovered. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) statistical technique revealed that provision of transportation scheme (r=0.974; p≤0.05), provision of medical services (r= 0.982; p≤0.05) and official quarters (r= 0.431; ≤0.05) were the correlates of workers’ commitment to service. The findings therefore add new knowledge that can be used to improve organizational practices for the retention of valuable staff members in the Nigerian Civil Service.
