Executive Unconscious-Bias and Employee Job Satisfaction in Government Parastatals in Lagos State Nigeria

The study investigates executive unconscious-bias and job satisfaction in government parastatals in Lagos State, Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted while the simple random sampling technique was used to draw 120 sample respondents. Questionnaire rated on a 6-point Likert scale, was the main instrument for data collection, 120 copies of questionnaire. The descriptive statistical techniques of Percentiles and Pearson Correlation were used for data analysis with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software for editing and encoding. The result reveals that there is a weak negative relationship between executive-unconscious and job satisfaction among employees of the selected parastatals in the state (R=-0.193, p<0.05). The study recommends that it is imperative for executives to examine themselves and be self-aware of their unconscious biases so they can consciously work on them.
