Abstract

This study investigates the factors that influence OCMT in Karachi's banking sector. There are certain factors that directly and indirectly impact the employee commitment towards the organization. The research purpose is to find the OC, OS, and IM impact on the commitment of employees towards their organization in the banking sector. Commitment, a crucial factor for organization success and sustainability, indicates employees' psychological attachment and loyalty to their organization. Identifying the variables that drive this commitment can help improve employee retention and organizational effectiveness. This study is based on the quantitative research, with standardized questionnaires delivered to employees of several banks in Karachi. The derived hypotheses were tested through PLS. Likert scale has been used for the questionnaire. This is an empirical study and sample size 250. The result has been found that all independent variables; OC, OS and IM has an impact on OC. The study discovered that OS strongly influences OCMT. When employees perceive they receive sufficient resources, support, and opportunities for professional growth, they are more inclined to remain loyal to their employer. According to the study, organizations that want to boost employee commitment should prioritize building a strong corporate culture, recognizing and appreciating employee accomplishments, giving adequate assistance, and encouraging IM. Further research could build on this study by looking into other industries and including more variables that may impact OCMT.
