The success of each business relies on the employees' commitment to work, i.e., how and in which way employees perform their work. When consumers are offered the same or similar products produced by different companies and at different prices, and when the company's business result greatly depends on the quality of the work done, company management is more interested in securing its employees' full dedication to work. The generally accepted phrase "you get what you pay for" encouraged this research, whose purpose is to determine the strength of the relationship between materialistic and nonmaterialistic motivational factors to employees' commitment to work. This research starts with the assumption that materialistic factors of motivation are more important motivational factors for employees when compared to nonmaterialistic ones. Listed indicators of motivational factors represent independent variables, while the dependent variable represents the indicator 'work satisfaction', which determines the level of employees' commitment to work. The research had 147 participants who work in companies from different industries and different sizes. According to the Likert scale, a structured questionnaire was used to measure the employees' attitudes. Various methods for data processing in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Smart PLS3 program were used: Descriptive statistics of the sample (SPSS); Exploratory factor analysis - PCA analysis of principal components (SPSS): Factor analysis - a test of validity and confidence of the instruments (SmartPLS3); Bootstrapping analysis - testing of the hypothesis (SmartPLS3). The conducted research shows that nonmaterialistic motivational factors, including Interpersonal relations and advancement, statistically significantly influence satisfaction at work, i.e., employees' commitment to the work.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods are products that are required by almost all users in their day today life. The advertisements for these products need more attention in terms of creating responsiveness among the consumers for their purchase decision. However, consumers are bombarded with lots of information through multiple media like newspapers, magazines and internet but remain engaged from time to time hence lack time to update themselves. This has made it difficult for advertisers to trap consumers hence resort to outdoor messages to reach the target people. Extant studies on the out of home advertising have attempted to elucidate on the challenges of advertising and the attendant supposed solutions, conversely, most of the extant research focus more on developed countries than developing countries such as Nigeria. Hence, this study examined the effect of Out-of-Home Advertising on consumer buying behaviour of selected fast moving consumer goods in Lagos State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consists of individuals living in Lagos State with total number of 2,556,300 and with the sample size of 520 derived from Taro Yamane method. Data was collected using self – administered structured questionnaire and validated for a response rate of 93.4%. Cronbach Alpha reliability for major constructs had an average of 0.80. Random sampling technique was used. The data collected was analysed using simple linear regression. Findings revealed that there is a strong positive and significant relationship between Out-of-Home Advertising and consumer buying behaviour(β= 0.834; R2= 0.695; t(520) = 33.225; p>0.05). The study concludes that Out-of-Home Advertising has significant and positive effect on consumer buying behaviour and recommends that the study findings led to the recommendations that producers of fast moving consumer goods should focus more on out of home advertising such as use of billboards as opposed to other forms of media like T.V and Radio to help boost consumption and sale of their products. The study also recommends marketers of FMCGs to enhance the knowledge and awareness of consumers with regard to existence and location of billboards.
