QUALITY OF WORK LIFE AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT IN SAUDI ARABIA: THE ROLE OF JOB INVOLVEMENT AND SENSE OF EFFICACY
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This study developed and tested a model for examining the relationship between employees' perceptions of quality of work life (QWL), and organizational commitment in the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia. The relationships were compared across the two sectors. The study is based on a sample of 353 employees from different organizations, using path analysis method. The findings indicate significant differences in the perceptions of employees about QWL in the public and private sectors. Employees of public sector showed more commitment toward their organizations. The findings also show that job involvement is the strongest predictor of organizational commitment in the private sector. Globally, the relationship between quality of work life and organizational commitment is partially mediated by sense of efficacy and job involvement. Findings highlight that the organizational commitment of younger female employees is higher than the commitment among their male counterparts towards the organization. On the other hand, elder male employees show higher organizational commitment than elder females.
