Organizational Commitment, Performance, Individual PerformanceAbstract
This research was conducted to determine the importance of the relationship between organizational commitment and individual performance. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between organizational commitment and individual performance and how this relationship developed according to demographic variables. In the research, data were collected and analyzed from 440 people working in the Jordanian Chamber of Commerce. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between organizational commitment and individual performance, and the t-test method was used to determine the relationships with demographic variables. As a result of the research, when it was examined whether organizational commitment differed according to demographic variables, it was determined that it differed according to the age variable, but not according to the variables of education level and length of work experience. When we examined whether individual performance differed according to demographic variables, it was determined that it did not differ according to three variables. The third hypothesis, which was accepted as the main hypothesis of the study, “There is a positive and significant relationship between organizational dependence and individual performance”, was accepted.
