 CHAPTER ONE
1.0              INTRODUCTION:
This study focuses on employee work orientation and as it affects organizational commitment. The point is that people have different aspirations, expectations and views, about work which invariably affect the degree of their commitment to the organization in which they work.   
   This work is therefore part of the scholars as to what particular work orientation best engenders favorable work attitudes and commitments; two distinct groups are involved in this debate.
They are the instrumentalists represented by Taylor (1911) and cold horpe et al (1997) argued that extrinsic orientation, and the self actualization school who emphasize intrinsic aspect of work. Writers in this later group includes Herz berg (1989:113), Brown (1989: 14) Hall and Schneider.
1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
Work is one Phenomenon, which is inevitable in the universe and invariably affects the entire aspect of human life. “ There is percussive evidence that work is a major formative experience which can either promote or limit a man’s growth in ways which affect the whole man and which therefore shape his life outside the job as well as within it” (for 1971). Some modern industrials doctrine of work advocates the philosophy, which ascribes to work on extrinsic meaning. It expects work to filed predominantly extrinsic satisfaction to the workers. Work is mainly seen in terms of its instrumental characters as a means to some end, it be comer a means of trying to meet the ever rising material standard of life an d the pursuit of reinsure activities outside work environment: an avenue consumption late. Also other philosophies of work however, ascribe to work an intrinsic meaning.
 This conception of work is mainly advocated by the self-actualization school. There work can abilities and enjoy the satisfaction of self-fulfillment.
            This research work centers on the organizational orientation and commitment to word. According to Royer Benneth (1981) orientation is the way by which people are meant to understand all that is obtainable in their work and the environment. It is equally how people view their work situation in terms of what one desires to achieve.
            However in an organizational commitment orientation to work the management makes several things known to the worker as regards to the performance of his job and in line with the organizations laid down rule and regulations. This is designed to provide a new employee with the information needed to function comfortably and effectively in the organization by Ile .M. (2000).
            Organizational orientation conveys three things.
(i)           General information about the daily work routine .
(ii)               A review of the organizations history, purpose, operations and products or services as well as how the employee’s Job contribute to the organizational needs .(iii)             A detailed presentation, perhaps in a brochure of the organization’s policies work rules and employees benefits.
In the area of commitment to work many employees (workers) feel anxious on entering an organization. They worry on how well they will perform in the Job, they feel inadequate compared to more experienced employees and they are concerned on how well thing will get along with their co-workers. Orientation programmes reduces the anxiety of new employees by giving them information the Job environment and on supervisors by introducing them to co-workers, and by encouraging them, to ask questions. If the expectations of the employees are not compatible with that of the organization there will be dissatisfaction and work commitment of the employee would be drastically low (reduced).
            Steers and Porter (1979:333) stated that organizational orientation is the guided adjustment of employee to the organization and his work environment. Organizational orientation helps the workers in the following ways;
(i)                 To overcome axial shock.
(ii)               To satisfy the employees need for acceptance and motivates the employee to work as a member of a group.
(iii)             It gives the employee the feeling of being wanted by the organization irrespective of how insufficient his contributions to it may be.
Enugu South Local Government was created 27th September 1991 out of the then Enugu Local Government now Enugu North. The population as at 1991 was three hundred and seventeen thousand and sixty-seven(317,067). It comprises of five autonomous communities 012; Amaechi, Ugwuagi, Akoute, Obuagu and Urban Ward, Idaw- river Layout, Uwani and so on. It has thirteen wards. The first executive Chairman was Mr. Ike Ngwu from Amaechi, who took over from a sole administration, Dr. Raymond Okenwa in 1992. the present acting Chairman is Honorable Samuel Ngene from Obeagu.
