Some Antecedents of Organisational Commitment: Results from an Information Systems Public Sector Organisation

Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to be able to understand some of the major antecedents that contribute in making employees committed to an organisation (OC). Once the relationship between the antecedents and OC is established, it is appropriate to ascertain whether all the dimensions of OC are desirable, and which and how the dimensions of OC may be strengthened. The analysis of the data was checked for reliability and validity using Cronbach alpha and factor analysis. Multivariate analysis using the regression method and analysis of variance were utilised to establish whether there was a significant relationship between the selected antecedents and the three dimensions of OC. The study concludes by identifying the organisational implications of the research, and recommending appropriate human resource management policies and practices to develop the right type and level of OC. The recommendations also include appropriate man- agement policies aimed at maintaining and possibly increasing the right type of OC.
