Abstract

Despite various contextual factors being reported to have influenced organizational commitment among employees, more empirical evidences are required. This is important as to reaffirm such assertion in the growing body of literature on organizational commitment. In line with that, this study attempts to examine the influence of corporate culture on organizational commitment. Corporate culture is assessed in terms of communication, teamwork, training and development, and reward and recognition. A survey was conducted among public servants of selected government agencies in the Northern Region of Peninsular Malaysia. Based on the statistical analyses, the findings reported that communication, training and development, and reward and recognition have a significant and positive influence on organizational commitment. In the discussion section, all significant factors in enhancing organizational commitment among public servants are elaborated. Finally, recommendations as well as theoretical and practical ramifications are brought to fore.
