Linking employee engagement, job stress and perceived organisational support to organisational commitment

In the recent past, the term organisational commitment has been studied by researchers a number of times, as it has a high practical relevance and importance in the organisational setup. Previous researches show that organisational commitment has an important role as it has a direct relation to employee performance, employee loyalty, employee turnover, competitive advantage, etc. This paper evaluates the impact of the factors such as employee engagement, job stress and perceived organisational support on organisational commitment in the Indian context. For this purpose, the data was collected through an online survey. Two hundred questionnaires were received back from the professionals and executives working in various corporate engaged in HR consultancies and services in Noida NCR. The collected data were analysed through SPSS 22 and SEM was used through Amos version 22. The findings suggest that the work engagement has a significant positive effect on organisational commitment. As expected, job stress has a significant negative effect on organisational commitment. Whereas, perceived organisational support has a significant positive effect on organisational commitment. This study provides an insight to develop policies in order to create and retain competent and committed workforce in the various corporations of India.
