This study investigated the impact of various predictors (Employees’ age, length of
service, locus of control, perceived job characteristics and perceived organizational
structure) on organizational commitment (OC) of technical job holders. 120 technical
employees from a public sector organization participated in this study. Multiple linear
regression (simultaneous) analysis was carried out in order to estimate the relative
impact of various predictors on OC of technical job holders. Results indicated that the
perceived adequacy of the organizational structure was the most dominant predictor of
OC among technical employees followed by locus of control (internal) and perceived
favourable job characteristics. Age and length of service also contributed positively in
the total variance of OC, however, their contributions were not found to be statistically
significant. The obtained results indicated that in predicting the OC of technical job
holders, organizational characteristics were relatively more important as compared to
personal characteristics.
