Supervisor’s personal characteristics and organizational commitment: Evidence from states agencies for mass education in North East, Nigeria

Abstract: Organizational commitment is one of the widely researched areas because of its significance to organizational growths and development. Yet little is traceable to non-formal education settings, in Nigeria. The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between demographic variables (gender, age and length of service) and supervisor’s organizational commitment in North east, Nigeria. Correlational survey was carried out, using questionnaire for data collection. A total of 97 supervisors participated in 4 State Agencies for mass education of Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Yobe states of northeastern, Nigeria. The findings show that, supervisors’ organizational commitment and demographic variables (gender, age and length of service) are not significantly related. There is need to address these personal factors by encouraging supervisors to be committed, since supervisors in the agencies are significant drivers in achieving the objectives of mass education.
