The study was guided by four objectives; the design of the study was a case study design. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire, and data generated was analyzed using a frequency table and simple percentage with the aid of a bar chart. Twenty-eight (28) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the staff understudy, and twenty-five (25) were returned and found to be useful. From the analysis, it was deduced that staff when transferred to another department, are satisfied and ready to adjust to their new schedule of a job and it also revealed that most of them have not stayed long in their present department.
