Abstract
A major issue in the majority of public sector organisations and commissions is job
unhappiness, which leads to low productivity, a lack of commitment to responding to security
issues, and ultimately, the termination of services. In this study, we looked into the connection
between job enrichments and Nigerian civil defence corps employee job satisfaction at zonal
command headquarters located in the states of Delta and Bayelsa. Two hundred and eighty
(280) respondents who worked for the Nigerian civil defence corps were given the
questionnaire, which served as the main tool for gathering data. Descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to analyse the collected data. The findings of the regression showed that
task identity (F=22.44; Prob.F=0.0000.05%) had a negligible
influence. Given the results, it was suggested, among other things, that the Nigerian civil
defence corps implement these job enrichment techniques since they would allow staff members
to use a variety of their skills to further the objectives of the commission and, thus, increase
their level of satisfaction. This study advances our understanding of the relationship between
job enrichments (task identity and skill variety) and employee satisfaction in Nigeria by
applying Hackman/Oldham's enriched job characteristics model.
