    Examining the Influence of Job Security and Reward Systems on Employee Preferences for Public Sector Employment in Nigeria
    (NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT (NJPSM), 2024-10-05) 1LAWAL Yusuf Birisan & 2Ashiru Olayemi ALIYU
    This study investigates the variables influencing Nigerian workers' widespread preference for jobs in the public sector. To understand the underlying reasons for the persistent preference for public sector employment, the study explores the complex dynamics of reward systems, job security, and job satisfaction. The research delves into the intricate interactions among these variables (reward practices, job security, and job satisfaction) and how they influence people's preference for public sector jobs. The study made use of questionnaire and interviews to obtain primary data necessary for the study. Secondary data was derived from relevant documents to complement the primary data. Quantitative data collected through questionnaire was analysed both descriptively and inferentially. The inferential statistical tool for the study is multiple regression analysis with the help of (SPSS) version 25.0. On the other hand, the responses of face-to-face interview were thematically analyzed. The study found out among others that Job security; economic benefits and job satisfaction with positive un-standardized coefficient has significantly led to the preference for public sector employment in Nigeria. The study recommends among others the need for labour laws to be reviewed, especially as it applies to job placement in the private sector of the economy to prevent arbitrary displacement of workers and to reduce too much burden on the public sector jobs.
