Investigating the Relationship between Organizational Commitment and Organizational Health (Case Study: Kabul University Professors)
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07
Abstract
This research investigates the relationship between dimensions (components) of organizational commitment (emotional, continuous, and normative) and dimensions of organizational health (institutional integrity, manager influence, consideration, Initiating structure, resource support, morale, and academic emphasis). The research is applied in its purpose, meaning it seeks practical solutions, and employs a correlational methodology to examine the relationships between variables. The target population was all professors at Kabul University (n = 700). Using Morgan's table, a random sample of 248 participants was selected. Data were collected using two standardized questionnaires: Allen & Meyer's (1997) organizational commitment questionnaire and Hoy & Feldman's (1996) organizational health questionnaire. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for both instruments indicated good internal consistency (organizational health = 0.980, organizational commitment = 0.868). To ensure face and content validity, the questionnaires were reviewed by a panel of 12 professors and experts. Pearson's correlation coefficient and one-sample t-tests were conducted using SPSS/25 software to test the research hypotheses. The findings revealed a positive and significant correlation between overall organizational health and organizational commitment. Furthermore, emotional commitment demonstrated the strongest relationship with organizational health dimensions, while normative commitment showed the weakest association. These results suggest that organizational commitment plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational health. Therefore, managers should prioritize these two factors by implementing management strategies to cultivate a more committed and healthy work environment.
