Solely Impact and Influence of Antecedent Variables on Affective, Continuance and Normative commitment among Saudi employees working in Banking Sector

In the light of previous findings the present study is proposed to measure the impact and influence of each factor (work setting, job security, compensation fulfilment and Participation in decision making) on Affective, Continuance and Normative commitment among Saudi employees working in banking sector. A random sample of 180 development bank employees in Jeddah was selected and disseminated a survey questionnaire. Linear Multiple Regression was applied to confirm whether the independent variables have strong and significant relationship with the dependent variables. The analysis showed positive correlations between the dependent and independent variables. The findings of the current study indicated that job security has strong and significant relationship affecting continuance commitment and that work setting has a strong and significant relationship on normative commitment at the individual level. Compensation fulfilment has a significant but low impact on affective and have inverse relationship with continuance commitment and does not totally influence towards normative commitment. Participation commitment is the only variable which does not influence affective, continuance and normative commitment altogether.
Furthermore, the study tries to find out the significant and positive impact of demographic variables i.e. Gender, Age, Marital and Nationality on work setting, job security, compensation fulfillment and participation in decision making. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) result indicates that gender has a significant effect on work setting, job security, compensation and participation in decision making. Whereas, the test confirmed that nationality has a significant effect on work setting, compensation and participation in decision making and does not have any significant effect on job security. Age and Marital status does not have any significant effect on work setting, job security, compensation fulfilment and participation in decision making.
