dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the relationship between motivational indices and job commitment among administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State. Despite efforts of educational stakeholders, there seem to be a growing concern and dissatisfaction with the level of job commitment among administrative staff members in private universities, particularly in Oyo State. Various studies have addressed the causes of such issues in other states, but there was a noticeable lack of empirical research focused on private universities in Oyo State, creating a gap in the literature that this study sought to address. Two research questions were raisedwhile one hypothesis was formulated. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, targeting all administrative staff in private universities in Oyo State, using a total enumeration sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-developed questionnaire (MIASJCQ) and the reliability of the instrument was determined using cronbach’s alpha α = 0.892. The data wasanalysed using both descripand inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the level of job commitment of administrative staff in private universities in Oyo Statewas high (x̄=3.13); the level of motivational indices in private universities in Oyo Statewas moderate (x̄=2.81); correlation analysis between motivational indices and job commitment indicated an exceptionally high correlation coefficient of .974** indicating avery strong positive correlation. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that private universities should implement regular professional development and training programmes. These programmes could focus on skills enhancement, career advancement, and fostering a sense of community within the workplace.
