JOB RESOURCES AS PREDICTORS OF WORK VALUE AMONG OKO POLYTECHNIC WORKERS IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA

Abstract

The study examined job resources as predictors of work value among Oko Polytechnic workers in Anambra State, Nigeria. A total number of 297 served as participants for the study. They were selected through non-probability sample (purposive sampling techniques). In the study, 137 were male and 166 were female with age range of 20 to 56 years. The mean age is 29.18 and standard deviation of 4.13. Three instruments were used in the study: Job Resources Scale, and Survey of Work Values (SWV). Correlational design and Multiple Linear Regression were used in testing the variables in the study. The study observed that organizational support and growth opportunity of job resources predicted work value, while advancement of job resources did not indicate prediction on work value. Thus, there is need for the organization to sustain and improve workers’ support strategies in order to inspire them.
