Abstract
Description
The study was carried out to report on the results of a questionnaire which
was designed to determine the effect on job satisfaction of the level of
managers within organisation hierarchy in a Federal Ministry in Nigeria.
The results show that many managers value the opportunity to exercise
high degree of autonomy. Also, top managers report higher satisfaction
than lower level managers. It was also revealed that middle level
managers in the tvvo departments studied, have little or no difference in
need satisfaction. The perceived opportunities for ps_vchological
satisfaction are approximately the same in both departments. Howeve1:
the self-actualization need was found to be the second most satisfied
categ01y and the esteem need the least satisfied. These findings are
important to personnel managers responsible for developing recruitment
strategies directed at middle level managers aspiring to take a career in
the civil service.
