Abstract
The paper examines the mediating effect of job satisfaction
between job factors (pay, promotion opportunities,
supervision & work-schedule flexibility) and
organizational commitment. In all 310 responses were
generated from teachers of management institutes located
in India through a self-administered questionnaire. SEM in
LISREL was used to analyze data. Path analysis of the
structural model revealed that pay satisfaction and workschedule
flexibility have a positive relationship with job
satisfaction and organizational commitment. Satisfaction
with supervision was positively correlated to job
satisfaction. Job satisfaction was found to be a strong
mediator in the relationship between job related factors
and organizational commitment. The study is unique in the
sense that it is conducted in the context of management
institutes in India. Keeping in mind the fact that there is
acute shortage of teaching staff in management institutes in
India, the present study is both relevant and purposeful.
