The Relationship Between Job Satisfaction, Affective Commitment, Organizational Learning Climate and Corporate Performance

Abstract

Facing today’s business fierce competition,
companies have to adopt an organizational learning
climate as this kind of climate enhances employees to
share knowledge continuously to achieve their best
performance. Apart from their competence- in line with
literature- managers have to be affectively committed to
result in their best performance. Both the organizational
learning climate and managers’ affective commitment are
assumed to have a positive effect on the corporate
performance. In addition, high job satisfaction is indicated
to be positively correlated with affective commitment and
learning climate. This study aims to find out the
correlation between job satisfaction and affective
commitment; between affective commitment and
corporate performance, and between organizational
learning climate and corporate performance. Based on
statistical analysis, this study found out that job
satisfaction is significantly correlated with affective
commitment. Both affective commitment and
organizational learning climate have a positive correlation
with corporate performance. However, applying step-wise
linier multiple regression analysis, the affective
commitment contributed around forty-four percent
towards the corporate performance. Therefore, affective
commitment plays a very important role in achieving high
corporate performance.
