Abstract

Organizational culture and commitment have considerable importance in industrial and organizational psychology. Organizational culture is increasingly understood as a critical element in the creation of high performance workspaces.

To date, the literature examining the relationship between corporate culture and employees’ workplace attitudes has been mainly anecdotal. There is broad agreement, that organizational culture provides the ‘social glue’ that gives organizations coherence, identity, and direction.

Research work in the field of organizational culture and commitment is very limited in Indian industry. A number of researchers have already acknowledged the poverty of empirical studies in the area of culture. There are very few researches done to explore the differences in organizational culture and commitment of Indian managed and foreign managed IT firms.

There is both practical and theoretical significance of conducting a research study of this nature. The potential gains that can be realized if the employer -employee relationship is improved within the IT firms represent the practical significance of this study.
