Abstract
As institutions’ global environment becomes increasingly complex and inconsistent, the non teaching staff agitations get intensified, thus, today’s institutions require dedicated focus. In the light of this, it is needful to identify and evaluate the issue of non-teaching staff agitations. Interestingly, studies are not forthcoming in Nigeria to address the above concern. Thus, this study examined job security strategy and job satisfaction of non-teaching staff in the public universities in Lagos State. The study used a mixed-method, and the population consisted of 4,800 non-teaching staff. The multi-stage sampling technique and a validated structured questionnaire were adapted for data collection. A 100% response rate was achieved. The job Security coefficient value was -0.283, an indication of negative effects on job satisfaction of the non-teaching staff in public universities in Lagos State. The result also revealed that Job Security was significant at 5% because the probability of its value was less than 0.05. Since the results revealed that Job Security had a significant effect on Job Satisfaction of non-teaching staff in the public universities in Lagos State, the study concluded that Job Security can strategically elicit job satisfaction of non-teaching staff in the public universities in Lagos State. Accordingly, this study recommends that the universities’ authorities need to reconfigure their employment policies, purposely, to eliminate unfair labor practices which may be facilitating threats, unfair dismissal, obscured career path, anti unions disposition, and unfair hearing on issues.
