Abstract
The present study investigates the impact that Job Satisfaction (JS) has on the Organizational Commitment (OC) level of industrial workers and also finds out whether Job Involvement (JI) moderates the relationship between JS and OC. The study has been conducted on 600 employees belonging to different departments of Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), which is one of the public sector giants of India. Relationship between JS and OC has been established with the help of a 2 × 2 factorial design, and moderation effect of JI on the relationship between JS and OC has been checked with the help of hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results of the investigation have come out with the findings that OC is positively related to JS. Also, JI does moderate the relationship between JS and OC but in a negative way, and the impact has been found to be weak.
Highlights
Productivity is of central importance in organization theory
If we look at a few recent studies, it has been found to the utter surprise of many of us that Organizational Commitment (OC) is inversely related to Job Satisfaction (JS) (Tuzun, 2009; Wang, 2008)
OC is considered to be a function of various factors such as physical factors, situational factors, and individual/attitudinal factors
Summary
Productivity is of central importance in organization theory. Managers are interested in efficient utilization of resources in achieving objectives. Human capability is a critical resource, which is extremely variable. Latent human capability may very well be the greatest untapped resource. Productivity depends upon two major factors—employee’s job performance and resource utilized. The resources illustrated here are raw materials and technology. Changes in raw material to be processed may affect efficiency. The relative importance of technology in productivity depends upon the particular situation. The human element is not very important. In most organizations the performance of employee is relatively more important than equipment and raw materials. Productivity in strategic and coordinative subsystems largely depends upon human performance
