Exploring The Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Occupational Stress among Employees

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to explore the relationship between organizational commitment and occupational stress amid employees. The objectives include examining this relationship and analysing the impact of occupational stress on organizational commitment.  Following a quantitative research design, the data was collected from 60 employees in the Delhi NCR region using a purposive sampling method. The Occupational Stress Index (Srivastava & Singh, 1984) and the Organizational Commitment Scale (Dhar, Mishra & Srivastava, 2001) served as measurement tools. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and regression analysis were employed to analyse the data. The results revealed a significant negative correlation (r = -0.840, p < 0.001), indicating that higher level of stress is associated with lower level of commitment. Regression analysis further confirmed that occupational stress significantly predicts organizational commitment. On the basis of the findings, relevant recommendations were made.
