Abstract:

The study examined the nexus between boss-driven development and employee commitment in telecommunication firms in Nigeria. Boss-driven development is a development process whereby the direction and priorities that accelerate professional growth are determined by the boss; and employee commitment is the extent to which employees are willing to invest their time, effort, and energy to contribute to the success and well-being of the organization. The study was based on four selected telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt with a sample size of 226 telecommunication staff selected from a population of 550 staff. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient with SPSS version 21. It was found that boss-driven development leads to employee commitment. Therefore, we conclude that boss-driven development brings about employee commitment. Based on the above conclusion, it was recommended that telecommunication firms should encourage the boss-driven development of their employee to ensure employee commitment.
