Influence of Job Characteristics on Organisational Commitment among Private Sectors, Cuddalore

This research aims to identify the influence of job characteristics on organisational commitment. A convenience sampling method was carried out among Cuddalore town private industries. 100 samples were identified and valid surveys were obtained. Regression was performed to find the influence of independent variable on dependent variable. Findings show that, autonomy (β =.396, t = 3.015, P <.05) made a positive significant contribution in predicting organizational commitment Thus all job characteristics dimensions were significant contributors to organizational commitment; it was observed that job variety, feedback, dealing with others, task identity and friendship had no significant predictive power.
