Abstract

The current study looked at affiliation and pro-sociality as determinants in electoral behavior among senior non-teaching employees at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka. For the study, a total of 138 volunteers were chosen at random (males made up 30 percent of the total, and females made up 70 percent). Data was gathered using the electoral behavior and the prosocial behavior scales. Both scales were valid and reliable instruments, and the third variable (social affiliation) was demographically evaluated. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis, enter method. In hypothesis one, Social Affiliation predicted electoral behavior with F (1,137) = 8.11, p .01 and unstandardized beta values =.13, p
