Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The objective of the study was to explore whether individuals’ organisational commitment (measured by the Organisational Commitment Scale) is signifi cantly infl uenced by their job embeddedness (measured by the Job Embeddedness Scale). A crosssectional \nquantitative survey was conducted on a non-probability sample of employed black (92%) and female (71%) adults (N = 355) at managerial and staff level in the South African services industry. Canonical correlation analysis and structural equation modelling were \nused to analyse the data. The fi ndings add new knowledge that can be used to inform organisational practices for the retention of black staff members in the South African organisational context.
