The study examined relationship between job satisfaction dimensions and organizational commitment among Nigerian banks employees. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. Judgmental sampling was used to select 10 banks while simple random sampling method was employed to select seven (7) respondents from each bank totaling seventy (70) as sample size from Osogbo metropolis. Both correlation and multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. The result revealed that job satisfaction dimensions have positive significant relationship with organizational commitment. The result also revealed that work condition and supervision were independently significant predictors of organizational commitment. It was concluded that conditions attach to work and mentoring relationship are the most motivators to Nigerian banker staff. The study therefore recommended that management of Nigerian banks need to develop strategies to deal with the needs of those bank staff that experience less job satisfaction and commitment by improving the conditions attached to their job and given assurance of job security as well as good mentoring relationship.
