Exploring the job satisfaction and organisational commitment of employees in the information technology environment.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to explore the relationship between
\nemployees’ job satisfaction (as measured by the Job Satisfaction
\nSurvey) and organisational commitment (as measured on the
\nOrganisational Commitment Scale). A cross-sectional survey
\nwas conducted on a convenience sample of 86 employees at four
\ninformation technology companies in South Africa. Correlational
\nand stepwise regression analyses revealed a number of signifi cant
\nrelationships between the two variables. The fi ndings add new
\nknowledge that can be used to improve organisational practices
\nfor the retention of valuable staff members in the information
\ntechnology environment.
