Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction: A Correlational Study in Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS)

Employee turnover rates have been steadily increasing over time. This issue is not only prevalent in Malaysia but has also emerged as a global concern in the employment sector. High turnover rates can negatively impact organizational performance, productivity, and overall workplace morale. The primary objective of this study was to examine the correlation between organizational commitment and job satisfaction among PKNS employees. A total of 285 PKNS employees participated in the study, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 29 items designed to assess both organizational commitment and job satisfaction. To analyze the relationship between these variables, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted. The results indicated a significant and strong positive correlation between organizational commitment and job satisfaction among PKNS employees. This finding suggests that employees who exhibit higher levels of commitment to the organization tend to experience greater job satisfaction. The results of this study provide valuable insights for PKNS management and future researchers. Understanding the strong link between organizational commitment and job satisfaction can help organizations develop strategies to enhance employee retention, improve workplace engagement, and create a more supportive work environment. These findings can also serve as a foundation for future research aimed at further exploring factors that influence employee commitment and satisfaction.
