Assessment of Job Satisfaction and Job Commitment Proposal

...

Another reason why researchers are interested in studying whether job satisfaction would lead to organizational commitment is because increases productivity. The management should investigate their employees’ level of satisfaction, which can signal whether there is commitment from their workers or not. Employees’ productivity is highly related to their level of job satisfaction and in fact, the turnover rate can be reduced with a higher level of organizational commitment. Therefore, it is important for an organization to understand the relationships between these two variables.

Regardless of the position, or the organization where they work, employees are responsible for the development in their organization, and in spite of the many technological advances made by humans; employees still do the work of the organization and are ultimately responsible for its success. Given the above reasons, we have established that studying the relationship between employee job satisfaction and commitment is of great importance in achieving organizational goals and objectives.

- To what extents are the employees of TECNO TELECOM are committed?
