Abstract: This study investigated self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, achievement motivation and work-value orientation as predictors of career commitment of bank workers in Imo State Nigeria.Using a descriptive survey research design, two hundred bankers were randomly selected from ten banks in Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu Senatorial districts of Imo State Nigeria.The instruments used were: Career Commitment Scale (CCS) 0.87, Achievement Motivation Scale-Revised 0.82, emotional intelligence scale 0.78, General Perceived Self Efficacy Scale (GPSS) 0.90, and Work value orientation scale 0.88.Three research hypotheses were tested and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to analyse data collected.The result of the study revealed that the independent variables significantly predicted career commitment of bankers as thus; Selfefficacy; r (198) = .440,p< .05.; Emotional intelligence r (198) = .528,p< .05.Achievement motivation, r (198) = .635,p< .05 and work-value orientations, r (198) = .715,p< .05.Therefore financial institution(s) should make working in the banks more attractive and rewarding by giving bankers good remuneration, condition of service and appropriate attention to their career needs.If this is done bankers would be motivated to work and be committed to their career.
