The current study was on “organizational commitment and its impacts on self-efficacy of Nigerian Police personnel. The implications of the study for combating terrorism in Nigeria were well reflected. The study is very necessary as the major security challenge (test) and problem (trouble) facing Nigerian presently is the prevailing and unending terrorists’ attacks in Nigeria. The current study therefore makes contribution to knowledge as it highlights the extent of organizational commitment and self-efficacy possessed by the Nigerian Police personnel amidst their efforts to combat terrorism in the country. Participants numbering 112 were sampled for the study through probability (cluster) and non-probability (incidental) techniques among the Nigeria Police personnel in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. The average age of the participants was 35.7 years. “Self-Efficacy Scale” and “Organizational Commitment Inventory” were used to measure constructs of interest. The study had 6-groups field design. Pearson correlation and mulitivariate statistics were used to analyze the collected data. The three hypotheses tested in the study at p <.05 were “organizational commitment and self-efficacy of the Nigerian Police personnel will not significantly influence each other”; “Nigerian Police personnel will not significantly possess high organizational commitment”, and; “self-efficacy of Nigerian Police personnel will not be significantly high”. The first hypothesis was accepted, while the second and third were rejected. Again, while some of the Nigerian Police personnel possessed “identification”, “job involvement”, and “loyalty” attributes of organizational commitment; as well as “social performance efficiency”, and “work performance competence” attributes of self-efficacy above the average, others possessed them below the average. There is therefore the need to conduct more studies on the organizational commitment, and self-efficacy of the Nigerian Police personnel, as a single study like this one will not suffice amidst the overwhelming terrorists’ attacks in Nigeria. Further studies have to increase the number of Police personnel participants, especially the senior personnel participants from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).
