ABSTRACT
This study examined factors determining occupational mobility of marketing staff in the Nigerian banking industry. Using Pearson product moment correlation analysis and information obtained from a cross section of bank marketers, it is evident that perceived injustices in employment contract, transfers, promotional policies, job insecurity, unrealistic deposit mobilization target and welfare packages significantly influenced occupational mobility of marketing employees. These findings are a consolidation of earlier studies which provide an important insight and signals to Nigerian bank to achieve better performance and more importantly to compete favourably in keeping and retaining their highly valued sales employees. Based on this, we recommend among others that bank management should refocus their strategies on how best to create a favourable work climate for best talents to thrive. Future research agenda is also highlighted.
Keywords: Occupational Mobility, Social Injustice, Emerging Issues, and Determinants.
