Abstract

This study investigates the effect of mentoring on commitment to job, job satisfaction and gender in the Nigeria Police. The participants, numbering 592, were recruited for the study from three out of six geo‐political zones in Nigeria using a cluster quota random sampling method. They comprised 396 (66.9 per cent) males and 196 (33.1 per cent) females, 179 (30.2 per cent) officers (senior officers) and 413 (69.8 per cent) junior staff. Two hypotheses and two research questions were tested and answered at 0.05 margin of error using Z score and analysis of variance statistics. Results showed that mentored male police are more committed to their job. The mentored female police showed more satisfaction with their job than the mentored male police. Mentoring was also found to predict commitment to job of the police. The implications of these findings are discussed.
