Self Concept and Job Satisfaction of Office Information Managers in Private Universities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria

Abstract

The interplay between self-concept and job satisfaction among office information managers 
warrants significant attention due to its potential implications for individual well-being 
and organizational effectiveness. This study, examined the influence of self-concept on job 
satisfaction of office information managers in Private Universities, Ibadan, Oyo State. The 
study is a survey. The populations consist of 130 office information managers from six 
private universities in Ibadan. Total enumeration was used to sample all the 130 
respondents. Data was collected using questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed 
using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found a very high job 
satisfaction level (Mean=3.9) and amoderate self-concept (Mean=2.7) among respondents. 
The test of hypothesis showed that self-concept has no significant influence on job 
satisfaction (Adj.R2= 0.026, F(1,103)=2.699, p=.103b). The study concluded that by 
shedding light on these dynamics, this article provides valuable insights for organizational 
leaders, human resource practitioners, and office information managers themselves, 
enabling them to leverage self-concept principles to cultivate a fulfilling and rewarding 
work experience. It therefore recommends Universities should encourage self-awareness 
and self-development among office information managers. Providing opportunities for 
personal and professional growth, mentorship programs, and self-confidence-building 
initiatives can help strengthen their self-concept.
