Abstract
Work Values symbolize the worth and significance of what happens at work. These capture the measures of intrinsic and extrinsic well-being at a workplace. Work Values influence the environment at work; creating a feeling of responsibility which is intrinsically satisfying and motivating. Organization commitment relates to an individual’s overall affinity with the organization and its success. Researches show its positive relation to employee motivation and satisfaction. More committed employees strive more to fulfill the organizational objectives and goals. This study examines the relationship of work values and organization commitment and its impact in selected Information Technology (IT) companies operating in India. Taking a sample of from leading organizations in India, it also establishes trends of the organization commitment across demographic variables of gender, age, educational qualifications and marital status. For better understanding, sub-dimensions of each construct were studied. Implications for research and practice have also been discussed.
