CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
This study focuses on employee orientation and as it affects organizational commitment to work. The point is that people have different aspirations, expectations and views about work, which invariably affect the degree of their commitment to the organization in which they work. This work is therefore part of the scholar as to what particular work orientation best engenders favourable work attitudes and commitment. Two distinct group are involved in this debate – they are the instrumentalist represented by Taylor (1990) and Cold Horpe et al (1997) argued extrinsic orientation and self actualization school which emphasize intrinsic aspect of work. Writers in this group includes: Hertzberg (1989:113), Brown (1989:121) Hall and Scnider.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Work is one phenomenon, which is inevitable in the universe and invariable affects the entire aspect of human life. There is percussive evidence that work is a major formative experience which can either promote or limit a man’s growth in ways which affect the whole man and which therefore shape his life outside man the as well as within it (for 1991). Some modern industrial doctrine of work advocates the philosophy which ascribes to work on extrinsic meaning. It expects work to fill predominantly extrinsic satisfaction to the workers. Work is mainly seen in terms of its instrumental characters as a means to some end, it becomes a means of trying to meet the ever rising material standard of life and the pursuit to reinsure activities outside work environment avenue consumption. Also, other philosophies of work however, ascribed to work as an intrinsic meaning.
