ABSTRACT: Organisational
effectiveness (OE) and its antecedents in the context of non-profit sector are not much researched topics while they are widely discussed in
management literature. Using data from a cross-sectional survey of employees of
community welfare organisations in two cities of India, the relationship of
variables like organisational climate, organisational commitment, occupational
or job commitment and self efficacy on organisational effectiveness (OE) was
investigated. Results of one way ANOVA indicated significant variation in the
perception of OE by demographic variables. Hierarchical multiple regression
analysis was carried out to check relationship of variables on OE. Significant
background variables: religion, urban/rural residence in childhood and tenure
were entered into the hierarchical regression first. Self-efficacy and
occupational commitment were entered next, since they are more personal in
nature. Organisational commitment and organisational climate were entered in
the last step. The findings highlight impact of organisational
climate and commitment on organisational effectiveness. Occupational commitment
which did not emerge significant in step 2 became a significant predictor of OE, after the inclusion of climate and
organisational commitment. This indicates that, commitment to the occupation
alone is not sufficient for organisational commitment. Organisational climate
will over and above affect commitment to organisation. However,
organisational commitment had a direct effect on OE and organisational climate.
Implications are discussed.
