Abstract
This paper aim to examine the relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction among employees in the banking sector. The banking sector is vital to the economy, and understanding the determinants of employee behavior, including organizational commitment and job satisfaction, is imperative for enhancing productivity and minimizing turnover. The study sample comprised 300 employees from government and private banks across various districts of Haryana. The employees range in age from 30 to 45 years, have service experience ranging from 5 to 10 years, and may work in both service jobs and the same banks. The results indicate that Affective Commitment and Organisational Commitment exhibit stronger positive correlations with job satisfaction, whereas Normative Commitment and Continuance Commitment reveal weaker, albeit statistically significant, correlations. Hence these findings emphasise the significance of emotional attachment and overall commitment to the organisation in improving job satisfaction, revealing weaker correlations between job satisfaction and the sense of obligation or the costs associated with leaving the organisation.
