Abstract

As the threat of the Fourth Industrial Revolution approaches and organizations are struggling to survive because of the complexity it entails, it becomes mandatory for employees to upgrade and acquire new skills, for them to be able to thrive in the new normal. Upskilling and reskilling can help workers to grow as well as have a feeling of progress and satisfaction in their career path. This study investigated effects of upskilling and reskilling on employee job satisfaction of selected Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. The total population of the selected companies was three thousand, eight hundred and ninety-two (3,892) employees. The sample size was restricted to 400, which was calculated by using Taro Yammane (1967) statistical formula. The study adopted stratified random sampling technique. Questionnaire was the only research instrument used for data collection. Data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that upskilling and reskilling have a significant positive effect on employee job satisfaction. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that organizations in this sector should focus on adequate upskilling and reskilling development programmes for their employees in order to enhance job satisfaction.
