    Vol. 9 No. No. 1 (2025)

    The banking industry in the twenty-first century has experienced
    significant transformation as digital technologies increasingly redefine how
    financial services are delivered. Traditional banking models that relied heavily
    on physical branches and face-to-face interactions are gradually being replaced
    by technology-driven systems that emphasise convenience, speed, and
    accessibility. Digital banking, broadly understood as the delivery of banking services through electronic platforms, has therefore become a central feature
    of modern financial intermediation (Ozili, 2020). This shift reflects changing
    customer expectations and the growing demand for seamless and efficient
    service delivery.

  • EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA
    Vol. 9 No. No. 2 (2025)

    Committed employees dedicate their mental energy, emotional energy, and time to
    their organisations. In return, these dedicated employees assume their company to
    reciprocate the same. It is this expectation that creates the psychological contract
    between employees and the organisations. These symbiotic expectations between the
    employees and employers have changed over time and have been influenced by among
    others global competition, high cost of labour, and knowledgeable customers. These changes call for organisations to develop new strategies for enhancing employee
    commitment to improving the performance of the employees (Vance, 2006).
    Employee job satisfaction is directly related with low turnover, decreased
    absenteeism, and improved employee commitment to the organisation's economic
    overall performance (Cherif, 2020).

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the global
    business landscape, revolutionising how organisations operate, compete, and make
    decisions in real time. AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language
    processing (NLP), computer vision, and robotics, are increasingly adopted across
    various industries to enhance efficiency, accuracy, innovation, and customer
    satisfaction (Chatterjee et al., 2021; Russell & Norvig, 2021;). Globally, businesses
    are leveraging AI for tasks such as automated customer service, fraud detection,
    quality assurance, and real-time analytics to gain a competitive advantage
    (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2020).

    management techniques in the available literature are being utilised by small business
    operators in the central axis of the Borno state, Nigeria.
