Influence of Age, Educational Achievement and Marital Status on Compliance Behaviour of Bank Drivers
Abstract
Literature is replete with studies of the compliance behaviour of the general driving population in developed countries. However, not much is known about the factors influencing the compliance behaviour of drivers who drive for workrelated purposes in the banking setting especially in Nigeria. This study therefore examined the influence of age, educational achievement and marital status on compliance behaviour of bank automobile drivers to traffic rules and regulations. The sample size consists of 555 randomly selected bank automobile drivers currently employed in 6 commercial banks in Lagos, Nigeria. Frequency statistics
obtained revealed that 100 % of the participants were males. 10.5 % were between the ages of 19-29 years; 39.2 % were between the ages of 30-39 years; 37.5 % were between the ages of 40-49 years; 11.9 % was between the ages of 50-59 years; and 9 % was age 60. The educational qualification of participants revealed 78.6 % of the respondents had WASC/NECO; 15.3 % had the National Certificate of Education or the Ordinary National Diploma while 6.1 % had Bachelor of Science degree and above. Results indicate that age was did not compliance behaviour among bank automobile drivers because young and old drivers did were comparable in their compliance behaviour (df = 553, f = .62, t= 1.06, p > .05). Also, educational achievement did not influence compliance behaviour among bank automobile drivers (df = 2, f(2, 552) = .023, p > .05). Lastly, marital status did not influence compliance behaviour among bank automobile drivers but respondents who are separated scored higher than the single and the married (f(2,552, = 1.935, p > .05). The results of this study negates popular held notion that age, educational achievement and marital status are important factors in driving performance of which compliance is one. The current study whose sample respondents are workrelated drivers in a bank setting has revealed the need to give equal attention to different sociodemographic factors of applicants when compliance with traffic rules and regulations becomes an issue in decision making..
