Abstract

This study attempted to investigative the predictive influence of work motivation and stress on job commitment among staff of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State. The study employed a cross-sectional survey to recruit one hundred and fifty-eight (158) airport staff using snowball sampling technique. Participants were adequately engaged and willingly participated in the study. Their ages were from 19 and 51 years, mean of 30.51 years (SD= 6.77). In order to measure the variables of interest, the following instruments were employed: Work Motivation Scale (WMS), organizational commitment scale (OC) and Occupational Stress Scale. Thereafter, gathered data were analysed with descriptive statistics and linear regressions for SPSS v. 25. The results using linear regressions showed that work motivation did not significantly predict job commitment among airport staff. Conversely, stress was a significant predictor of job commitment among airport staff. In line with the findings, conclusions were made which were in consonance with policy implications and recommendations that were outlined.
