Abstract
Organizational commitment is an important aspect influencing
organizational growth and performance. Organizations face enormous challenges in
understanding the commitment level of employees of different career stages.
Depending on this understanding about the commitment level that organizations do
undertake different measures for enhancing their commitment for improved
organizational productivity. Therefore, understanding the commitment level of the
employees corresponding to their career stages has emerged as an important
dimension of human resource management these days. The changing business
environment and its associated complexities have increased the necessity for a study
on the effect of career stage on organizational commitment so as to enable the
progressive organisations to be more proactive in addressing to the underlying issues
associated with career stages and organizational commitment. This study is an
endeavour to examine the effect of career stages on organizational commitment with
respect to bank employees. The study which has been undertaken based on Super
(1984) career stages and Meyer et al. (1993) organizational commitment scale,
conducted upon 165 employees on three banks reveal that there exists a significant
difference between affective commitment and employees career stages. Similarly,
career stages also affect the continuance commitment of the employees significantly.
Further, the study also found that no significant relationship exists between normative
commitment and career stages. This implies that the organisations in order to get the
commitment of the employees have to undertake measures to design effective
organizational career planning programs.
