| description | In developing the right path for organizations, one of the challenges that leaders are facing nowadays is managing workforce diversity. Although organizations have become more accommodating to change, organizational change is still very risky and this may affect organizational commitment of employees. In
this respect, when employees perceived uncertainty in organizational change, there will be creation of occupational stress, which lowers employees’ organizational commitment and job satisfaction, thus intensifies the intention to leave. Since understanding organizational commitment is essential to managing an organization in improving overall performance, this study investigated the influence of
personal factor on the employees’ organizational commitment. In this respect, this study focused on the relationship between personal factor (personality) and organizational commitment (affective, continuance and normative) among the Generation Y non managerial employees in the Malaysian context. Using a self-administered survey, a random sample of 400 respondents was chosen from the various service organizations in few states within Peninsular Malaysia. The findings showed that personality significantly influenced organizational commitment. Based on the research findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. |
