ABSTRACT: The paper attempts to identify
the significant predictors of organizational commitment among select FMCG employees in Sultanate
of Oman. Quantitative approach has been used to study the influence of
demographic variables and work environment on organizational commitment. Data were collected from the 100 employees through the
questionnaires. In the sample, there were 60 male and 40 female employees. Data were analyzed by using appropriate statistical tests
like mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient and regression analysis.
Study revealed that FMCG employees reported moderate level of scores on work
environment and organizational commitment. Correlation analysis indicated that
age and job experience showed the positive significant relationship with
organizational commitment, affective commitment, continuance commitment and
normative commitment. The positive and significant relationship is also found
between work environment, job contents, supervision practices, pay, promotional
practices, coworkers and organizational commitment. Regression analysis showed
that age, job experience, supervision practices, pay and promotional
opportunities emerged as the significant predictors of organizational
commitment.
