The Role of Extrinsic Motivation on the Relationship between Office Environment and Organisational Commitment

Abstract

Abstract This study proposes that office environment affects organisational commitment and this relationship is moderated by extrinsic motivation. The conceptual model of this study was tested using 250 administration employees in two selected manufacturing organisations in Malaysia. To achieve the aim of this study, a quantitative research design method using survey questionnaires was used. The results show that there was a significant (.01) positive, and strong relationship between office environment and organisational commitment. The most influenced dimension of office environment for organisational commitment was workstation setting. However, extrinsic motivation failed to moderate the relationship between office environment and organisational commitment.
