Background of the Study
Job satisfaction is a key determinant of employee retention, particularly in the banking sector, where the competition for skilled professionals is fierce. First Bank Nigeria Plc, a leading financial institution with a significant presence in Taraba State, seeks to ensure a satisfied workforce to reduce turnover and improve overall performance (Chinonso & Ayinde, 2024). Job satisfaction can be influenced by a variety of factors, including compensation, work-life balance, career development opportunities, and organizational culture.
In Taraba State, the banking sector faces challenges such as limited access to advanced training and development programs, which can affect job satisfaction and, by extension, employee retention. First Bank has implemented various initiatives to enhance employee satisfaction, such as offering competitive compensation packages, opportunities for career growth, and improving work-life balance. However, there is limited research on how these factors interact specifically within the context of Taraba State and their influence on employee retention.
This study will explore the relationship between job satisfaction and employee retention at First Bank Nigeria Plc in Taraba State, with a focus on identifying the factors that contribute to job satisfaction and their impact on retention rates within the bank.
