Abstract

This study employs three (3) predominant measures of organizational commitment (affective, continuance and normative) whether they are influenced by work ethics climate in Nigeria. One hundred and five (105) employees were sampled from two(2) consumer goods companies in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, namely Guinness Nigeria and Lasien Bottling Company and primary data (questionnaire) was the major instrument of data collection. The organizational commitment scales were adapted from the work of Alan and Meyer (1990) while work ethics climate from Cullen, Victor and Bronson (2008). Data obtained from the field survey were analyzed using descriptive (mean, median, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, minimum, maximum values and Pearson correlation matrix) and inferential (simple regression) statistical tools. Findings of the study indicated that work ethics climate significantly and positively influence organizational commitment dimensions of affective, continuance and normative. Given the findings, it was recommended among others that employees should be offered with flexible, good and conducive work environment; this can be realized by ensuring they are well motivated, appreciated and recognized when executing their responsibilities by organizations’ management. More so, there is the need to build mutual trust between management and employees so that the employees may feel as if the organization’s problems are their own and work unswervingly towards realizing the goals of the organization.
