Abstract

Abstract: The study investigated the influence of work pattern, organizational support and job tenure on job commitment of working mothers in Ogun State, Nigeria. Three null hypothesis guided the study. Research design of the ex-post facto type was employed. One hundred and eightyemployed mothers were drawn from both public and private organizations in Ogun State through simple random sampling technique. The organizational support scale by Thompson and Lyness (1999) and job commitment scale by Farrell & Rusbult (1981) were used to obtain information from the respondents. Work pattern and job tenure were measured from the demographics. Multiple regression analysis and Pearson r were used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings reveal a combined contribution of work pattern, organizational support and job tenure to working mothers job commitment; a significant individual contribution of organizational support and job tenure but a non-significant contribution of work pattern to working mothers’ job commitment. Lastly, there are significant positive relationships between organizational support and job commitment, work pattern and job tenure, organizational support and job tenure, work pattern and organizational support but a non-significant positive relationship between job tenure and job commitment as well as a non-significant negative relationship between work pattern and job commitment. The study recommends that management should effectively implement those policies made by government that support working mothers and implement staff policies that will reduce turnover rates thereby elongating staff tenures and enhancing job commitment.
