A comprehensive review of empirical literature was carried out and the effective event theory was used for the study. The survey research design was adopted for the study. A total of 232 samples were selected from the staff of five (5) banks in Cross River State, Nigeria using the purposive, proportional stratified and simple random sampling technique. The instrument of data collection was the questionnaire. Data collected from the field was analysed using graphs, chart and multiple regression. Out of the 232 questionnaire distributed, 213 was collected and used for analysis.
