ABSTRACT
Issue of occupational commitment and attitude to work among workers is a thing of
concern to all management of organization including the academic workers of Federal University
Oye- Ekiti and Ekiti State University in Ekiti State.The present study investigated the influence
of perceived demographical factors influencing attitudes to work and organizational commitment
among academic workers of Federal University Oye-Ekiti and Ekiti State University
Ado,Ekiti.The study adopted ex-post factor research design. A total number of 100 workers were
accidentally sampled in the study.These participants were administered with Occupational
commitment scale and attitude to work scale together with demographic information. Six
hypotheses were tested in the study using independent samples t-test, two were confirmed and the
other two were tested with One-Way ANOVA and one was confirmed.The result of the tested
hypotheses showed that gender has a significant influence on organizational
commitment(t=3.29.’df = 98; p<.05). Gender has no significant influence on attitude to work
(t=1.84;df=98;p>.05).work environment has a significant influence on organizational
commitment(F(2,97)=3.21; p<.05). Work environment has no significant influence on attitude to
work (F(2,97)=0.55; p >.05). Age has no significant influence on organizational commitment (t=
0.90;df =78;p>.05). Age has no significant influence on attitude to work (t=-1.78; df=78;p>.05).
Length of service has significant influence on organizational commitment (t=-0.50;df=88;p>.05).
Length of service has no significant influence on attitude to work (t = 0.11;df=88;p>05).Based
on findings,it is concluded that demographic factors are important in understanding
organizational commitment and attitude to work of academic workers. Moreover, gender differs
in level of organizational commitment of workers. The findings show that gender, length of
service and work environment have significant influence on organizational commitment so
organizations should always pay great attentions to these factors for increment of productivity.
