Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Organizational Commitment in Revenue Personnel

The aim of this research was to find out the relationship of self-efficacy with affective commitment, normative commitment, continuance commitment and overall organizational commitment in revenue personnel. It was hypothesized that self efficacy will have a positive relationship with organizational commitment (overall & area-wise). The sample comprised of 150 Income Tax personnel working in Lucknow, Allahabad, Kanpur, Faizabad and Agra (Uttar Pradesh-India). The age of the respondents ranged between 30 years to 40 years. Two psychometric tools were used in this study. Organizational commitment scale by Khan and Mishra (2002) was utilised to measure organizational commitment. Self-efficacy was assessed with the help of Generalized Self-efficacy Scale by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1995). The statistical analysis conducted on the obtained data was Pearson's Correlation coefficient. The results indicated that self efficacy was positively and significantly related to affective, normative, continuance and overall organizational commitment in revenue personnel.
