Influences of Work-Related Variables on Organizational Commitment of Nepalese Employees

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of work-related variables (organizational climate, supervisory behavior, role conflict, and role clarity) on organizational commitment (attachment, internalization, normative, and continuance). Data was gathered from 10 Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) listed companies. In total, 250 questionnaires were provided to these companies' employees and a response rate of 71.60 percent was achieved. For data analysis purposes, descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with stepwise methods were adopted. Organizational climate, supervisory behavior, role conflict, and role clarity were found to have major impacts on organizational commitment. Out of these, the organizational climate was found to be a common predictor of all the commitment components. Therefore, it is required to focus on creating a sound and effective organizational climate to enhance organizational commitment to companies.
