Abstract
-
Present study examines the relationship between perceived organizational support
(POS) and organizational commitment and the mediating role of organization based
self-esteem between these variables. 148 white collared employees participated to the
study. Results indicated a significant relationship between POS and affective
commitment and normative commitment, but a negative relationship between POS and
continuance commitment. Results reveal that organization based self-esteem (OBSE)
has a partial mediating role between perceived organizational support and affective
commitment and full mediating role between perceived organizational support and
continuance commitment. Findings also indicate that OBSE has no mediating role
between perceived organizational support and normative commitment.
