The role of gender in building organisational commitment in India's services sourcing industry

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: In India's IT services sourcing industry, female employees are often considered to be a key talent pool enabling the industry to grow further. In this empirical study of IT employees in India ( N = 330), we analyse the relationships between organisational climate, employee climate, and organisational commitment using gender as a dichotomous moderator. While female employees appear to have a higher level of organisational commitment than their male colleagues, the results show that organisational and employee climate do not motivate them in the same way.
