Background of the Study
Job security is a critical factor influencing employee loyalty and overall organizational commitment. In a volatile job market, employees seek stability and reassurance regarding their long-term employment prospects. Ecobank Nigeria, one of the leading financial institutions in the country, operates in Kwara State, where socio-economic conditions can be unpredictable. In the banking sector, job security is a key determinant of employee engagement, retention, and performance.
Ecobank’s ability to provide job security is crucial to its success in retaining skilled employees and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. Employees who feel secure in their roles are more likely to be loyal to the organization, demonstrate higher levels of productivity, and contribute to a positive work environment. However, factors such as market competition, economic instability, and organizational restructuring can affect employees' perception of job security.
This study aims to assess the relationship between job security and employee loyalty at Ecobank Nigeria, Kwara State, focusing on how job security initiatives influence employee engagement and organizational success.
