Abstract
The relationship between employee satisfaction and organisational commitment. The primary goal of the study is to determine whether a relationship exists between employee satisfaction and organisational commitment. A
secondary goal is to determine whether any biographical variables mediate this relationship. Standardised instruments were used for operationalising these two contructs. A sample of convenience yielded 167 respondents out of a sampling frame of 300 employees from a financial organisation. Only 145 respondents returned fully completed questionnaires that were used for final analysis. Responses from both questionnaires were subjected to a
factor and item analysis. A statistically significant relation between employee satisfaction and organisational
commitment was found. The implications of the findings are discussed further.
