Abstract

Job is social reality and social expectation of an employee. It not only provides status to the individual but also binds with the society. An employee who is satisfied with his job would perform his duties well and be committed to his job and organisation. ‘Job satisfaction’ and ‘organisational commitment’ (OC) are two buzzwords among researchers in last couple of decades and associated with the organisational productivity and organisational culture in a variety of occupational settings. The scope of this research is to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and OC among shift workers in ferro-alloy industries of Odisha, India. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenient sample of 240 ( N) in five ferro-alloy industries of Odisha, India. Correlation and regression analysis revealed a number of significant relationships between the two variables. The findings show that there is a significant positive relationship between job satisfaction, affective and normative commitment variables, but there is a negative association between job satisfaction and continuance commitment. It is assumed that there is no similar research conducted on shift workers in ferro-alloy industries in India. Therefore, this study can add new findings that can be used to improve organisational practices for the retention of valuable employees and to improve organisational work culture and productivity.
