Organizations implement various strategies to secure their employees’ commitment. Broadly, these can be classified into transactional strategies involving monetary inducements and transformational strategies involving exemplary leadership. In this paper, we study the relative impact of pay satisfaction and transformational leadership on organizational commitment. We collected data from 240 respondents in two Indian organizations. Analysis of our findings showed that transformational leadership and pay satisfaction had an almost equal impact on affective as well as normative commitment. Continuance commitment was affected by neither pay satisfaction nor transformational leadership, but by the years of experience of the employee.

Abstract


Organizations implement various strategies to secure their employees’ commitment. Broadly, these can be classified into transactional strategies involving monetary inducements and transformational strategies involving exemplary leadership. In this paper, we study the relative impact of pay satisfaction and transformational leadership on organizational commitment. We collected data from 240 respondents in two Indian organizations. Analysis of our findings showed that transformational leadership and pay satisfaction had an almost equal impact on affective as well as normative commitment. Continuance commitment was affected by neither pay satisfaction nor transformational leadership, but by the years of experience of the employee.
