What is organisation:
An organization is a structured social system consisting of groups and individuals working
together to meet some agree upon objectives. In other words, organizations consist of people,
who alone and together in work groups strive to attain common goals.
OB
OB is the study of what people do in an organization and how their behaviour affects the
organization’s performance.
Attitudes and Individual attitudes:
In organizational settings, individual attitudes profoundly impact behaviours, interactions, and
overall performance. Attitudes, defined as relatively stable clusters of feelings, beliefs, and
behavioural predispositions towards specific entities
The Components of Attitudes
Attitudes consist of three essential components: the evaluative cognitive and behavioural
components.
Evaluative Component: reflects how a person feels about an attitude object. For instance, if an
employee feels positively towards their company, this reflects favourable job satisfaction.
Cognitive Component: This includes beliefs and thoughts about the work environment, such
as perceptions of management practices or job security.
Behavioural Component: This represents the predisposition to act in a certain way based on
attitudes. For example, a dissatisfied employee may express their feelings by reducing their
effort or seeking employment elsewhere
Job Satisfaction
When people speak of employee attitudes, they usually mean job satisfaction, a positive feeling
about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics. A person with high job
satisfaction holds positive feelings about the work. In contrast, a person with low satisfaction
holds negative feelings. According to Edwin A. Locke (1976), "a pleasurable or positive
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences" Schultz (1982) job
satisfaction refers to “mental outlook of individuals in regard to their work” Hoppack (1935)
highlighted the term job satisfaction when he worked on checking 32 research papers and found
it to be a mix of physiological, environmental and mental conditions and the factors impacting
the degree of satisfaction of a person.
Dimensions: job satisfaction is an emotional response to a job situation; job satisfaction is
often determined by how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations; job satisfaction
represents several related attitudes.
Characteristics: work itself, pay, promotion opportunities, supervision, coworker

Theories:
MASLOW- Maslow hypothesized that within every human being, there exists a hierarchy of five
needs- Physiological, which includes hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs.
Secondly, safety needs include security and protection from physical and emotional harm.
Thirdly, social needs include affection, belongingness, acceptance, and friendship. Fourthly,
Esteem level represents the higher needs of humans. The needs for power, achievement, and
status can be considered part of this level. And lastly, self-actualization, which is the drive to
become what we are capable of becoming includes growth, achieving our potential, and self-
fulfillment.
Herzberg’ two factor theory: Also known as motivation hygiene theory, has 2 types of factors
hygiene and motivators
Motivators lead to job satisfaction and motivation like work recognition, opportunity for growth.
While hygiene factors include interpersonal relations, salary, work conditions, and job security.

Dispositional model of job satisfaction: Personality ke basis pe hota h. the one who remains
positive are satisfied with theor job while jo bnda hr cheez ko negative dekhta h will not be
satisfied at all.

The value theory of JS: people feel satisfied with their jobs when they get what they value or
need from the job.
Isme hum apni job se expectation rkhte h and if that need Is fulfilled the person is satisfied

Social information processing model: In this we expect from the people around us-coworkers,
supervisors. Agar a person is getting support and guidance to he will be fully satisfied.

OC
most definitions refer to organizational commitment in terms of a tie that binds employees to
their organization (Allen, 2016) The three-factor model breaks down organizational commitment
into three commitment factors based on one’s rationale for staying at the organization,
including affective, normative, and continuance commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1991)

Affective commitment consists of the desire to stay at an organization out of emotional


attachment. Normative commitment consists of feelings of obligation to remain at an
organization. Continuance commitment consists of the need to stay at the organization based
on analysis of the possible costs and benefits incurred from leaving .

Guidelines:
• Clarify and communicate your mission.
• Support employee development.
• Create a sense of community

Importance of evaluating relationship b/w JS and OC


Organizational commitment and job satisfaction have been central themes in work organization
research, frequently linked to both positive and negative behaviors within an organization. The
relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment is crucial because it
directly impacts employee behavior and organizational outcomes.( High job satisfaction often
leads to stronger commitment while dissatisfaction leads to weaken commitment)
DEEN study: Deen, (2022) for the MNCs’ based manufacturing industry, by collecting data
through the questionnaire, personally providing and receiving the responses from different level
of permanent employees’ and get it analyzed through SPSS. Through reliability analysis, linear
regression, and finally the Pearson correlation, and concluded that organizational commitment
and job satisfaction is highly correlated with each other and organizational commitment is
positively related to job satisfaction (significant).
Relevance/importance:
• Got to know about work environment of organisation
• The different job roles played by the employees
• Their level of satisfaction and commitment
• Theor growth in the organisation
• Got to know about the management policies

Cross sectional: where data is collected at a single point in time from a group of people.

Reliability: the consistency of the result (aaj test kia toh ek result aya, 10 din baad kia toh bhi
result same aya- means the test is reliable)
Types: test-retest, coefficient alpha/internal consistency (which shows how closely related a
set of items are in a scale or test. In simple terms, it tells you whether the items on a survey or
questionnaire are consistently measuring the same thing.)

In the scale of JSS: good reliability with high overall consistency (0.91)
Coefficient alpha was 0.89 given by BLAU in 1999

In the scale OCQ: alpha coefficient ranges from 0.82 to 0.93


Test retest R= 0.53
Validity (test kitna theek h, valid hai)= convergent validity= range from 0.63 to 0.74 (degree to
which two different methods or measures that are supposed to assess the same thing actually
produce similar results)

Summated rating scale:


Summated Rating Scale is a five-point scale on which respondents express their attitude i.e.
agree to disagree towards the statements
For interpretation (STUDY)
The aim of this study (Kuchimanchi, & Saini, 2019) was to investigate the relationship between
Job satisfaction and Organizational commitment of employees working in public undertaking in
India. The study focused on assessing the nature of the relationship of the two variables, using
Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The study used The Organizational Commitment. The
Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire was used. The study found a strong positive (+0.01)
relationship between Job satisfaction and Organizational commitment. The study also found that
male employees have higher levels of Job satisfaction and Organizational commitment when
compared to female employees for the same designation and under the same organization.

Limitations
data was collected through a digital Google form sent to the participants. The data collected did
not specify the size of the organization making the nature of organization studied very diverse.
The inclusion criteria of respondent’s years of commitment to the organization is relatively low,
that is 2 years, because organizational commitment requires more time to be formed.
Suggestions
a larger and more diverse sample size to improve the generalizability of findings across various
contexts. Data collection should be conducted in person to ensure accuracy and establish a
more reliable interaction with participants. Additionally, participants should have more
experience within their organization, as longer tenure is positively associated with higher levels
of organizational commitment.
