dc.description.abstractSmall and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria particularly the block making industry face many challenges, ranging from managerial, financial to operational. These problems are more pronounced at developmental phases than when they are well entrenched in the market. This study is therefore designed to ascertain the level of job satisfaction as perceived by the supporting staff. A total of 465 out of 500 SME respondents in the block making industry completed the questionnaire; systematic random sampling technique was used for the selection of the SMEs. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents while one sample independent t-test was used to analyze the data collected. The finding of the study revealed that the one-sample independent t-test indicated all the measures of job satisfaction are found to be significantly high (p-values = 0.000) as perceived by the supporting staff. The study concludes that government needs to strengthen SMEs support institutions such as Bank of Industry to operate in full capacity as the "apex" bank and allied banks must administer individual loan to SMEs to upgrade the position of SMEs development in Nigeria. In light of the above, the study recommended that the job satisfaction of the supporting staff should not only be maintained but also improved by providing financial incentives to motivate them and getting them more involved in the policy-making process of the enterprises.
