Role of Perceived Organizational Support in Predicting Organizational Commitment- Perception of IT Employees

The present research is an attempt to scrutinize the relation between organizational support and commitment. The research was undertaken among the employees working in Indian IT organizations situated in North India using a structured questionnaire. Social Exchange and norm of reciprocity theories were considered as a framework for the study. The data collected from 400 respondents was analyzed using SPSS. Correlation and regression techniques were employed to achieve the framed objectives and the results discovered that POS and organizational commitment are significantly related. The regression analysis provides an evidence that POS helps in improving the organizational commitment. The study concludes that employees receiving support from the organizations have higher commitment level towards their organizations. The implications and limitations are further discussed. There have been few studies undertaken in India's developing IT sector, and this study is an attempt to fill that research gap and add to the existing literature.
