Affective Commitment as a Mediator between Psychological Climate and Job Involvement

The psychological climate of the workplace is viewed as one of the most important environmental factor affecting an individual's workplace attitudes. At the same time, a favourable climate in the absence of commitment can be a source of misuse of workplace freedom by individuals. The present paper attempts to study the mediating role played by affective commitment between psychological climate and job involvement. Data for the present study were collected from manufacturing as well as service sector organizations all over India. The results and their theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.
