Thirty academic and support staff members from five colleges (6 per college) were randomly selected for interviews. The study used a semi-structured interview, consisting of 9 questions, to obtain the required data for this study. The results of the study showed that administrators and academic-support staff demonstrated reasonable level of loyalty to their colleges with varying degrees. This was reflected in their willingness to remain in the colleges, their willingness to work after-hours and their active involvement in the accomplishment of the aims and objectives of the colleges.
