The Impact of Job Satisfaction on the Organizational Commitment: Evidence from Bank Employees in Setif City
Abstract
This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among bank employees in Setif city. The research highlights the importance of these two variables in enhancing organizational performance, with particular attention to their role in strengthening employee involvement and institutional stability. The problematic addressed whether job satisfaction significantly influences organizational commitment, leading to the formulation of three hypotheses: employees demonstrate high job satisfaction; employees are strongly committed to their institutions; and job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment.
Using a questionnaire distributed to bank employees and analyzed through correlation and regression techniques. Results revealed high levels of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, with financial aspects (pay and promotion opportunities) emerging as areas of medium satisfaction. The analysis showed a strong positive correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment, confirming that the former is a key predictor of the latter. Based on these findings, the study recommends reinforcing employee participation in decision-making, revising pay and development policies, addressing employee concerns, and conducting regular surveys to monitor satisfaction and commitment levels.
