The Relationship between Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction in Turkey: A Meta-analytical Study

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse previous studies regarding the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment in Turkey utilising meta-analysis. A total of 249 studies were identified from the Council of Higher Education Thesis Center and Tubitak Ulakbim Journal Park databases, and 37 out of a sample of 10461 studies that met the selection criteria were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that there was no publication bias and that a high level of heterogeneity existed among the studies. Thus, all analyses were conducted using a random effect model. The results indicate that the mean effect size between job satisfaction and organisational commitment (r: 0,506) was significant. Moreover, the moderator analysis showed that, statistically, the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment differed significantly based on field of work.
