Abstract
Organizational commitment is defined as the relative strength of an individual’s identification with and involvement in a particular organization that is characterized by three factors: (1) a strong belief in and acceptance of the organization’s goals and values, (2) a willingness to exert considerable effort on behalf of the organization, and (3) a strong desire to maintain membership in the organization. The antecedents of organizational commitment are classified into four categories: personal characteristics, job characteristics, organizational characteristics, and work experiences. Job satisfaction is the degree to which employees have a positive affective orientation toward employment by the organization. Several dimensions of job satisfaction have been identified: pay, promotion, supervisors, co-workers, work it-self, job security, working conditions, and training opportunities. It is possible to have varying degrees of satisfaction toward the different dimensions of the job. The consequences of organizational commitment could be grouped into two main categories: withdrawal behaviors and job performance.
