Abstract

An ex-post facto research design was employed to determine the composite and relative correlation between financial well-being of poor salary demoralized private and public sector graduate employees in South -South Nigeria and the sale, or distribution of Asian and U.S.A. brand of food supplements. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 361 University, College of Agriculture, College of Education, Polytechnic and Theological Seminary graduate employees. These, for each of these institutions, were in the category of the unemployed, self employed, private sector employed, and government employed. The causal models were tested through data collected through five instruments: Entrepreneurship Characteristics Self Rating Questionnaire (ECSRQ); the Common Business Practice Questionnaire (CBPQ); the Personality Trait Job Creation Questionnaire (PTJCQ); the Gender Role stereotype Job Creation Questionnaire (GRJCQ); and the Curriculum Outcome Work Behaviour Inventory (COWBI).
