Abstract: Present research was designed to study the level of commitment and personal efficacy amongst the associates of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and also to understand the relationship between these two variables. Data was collected from 50 executives and 50 non-executives of DMRC. For this purpose, Organisational Commitment Instrument (OCI) and Personal Efficacy Test was administered individually to all employees. Chi-Square was applied to see the level of commitment and personal efficacy of executives and non-executives. The results were analysed using Chi–square test Pearson Product Moment correlation. The Chi–square results of commitment are shown in Table 1. The results revealed that Chi–square for commitment was 35.78, which was significant at 0.01 level. The comparison of results of executive and non–executive associates showed that large number of executive associates (n = 27) where highly committed, moderate number of employees (n = 15) fell into medium commitment range and few (n = 8) were low committed executives. The results were almost reverse in case of non–executive employees. There was only one employee from nonexecutive group who showed high level of commitment. Majority of this group was either moderately committed (n =22) or low on commitment (n = 27). The comparison of results on personal efficacy between executive and non-executive employees showed a Chi–square value of 27.01 significant at 0.01 level. The results reflect that the executive employees showed high personal efficacy (n =27), medium personal efficacy (n = 17) and few showed low personal efficacy (n = 6). The reverse trend was seen with the nonexecutive employees. Majority of employees showed low personal efficacy (n = 25) and medium personal efficacy (n = 20). There were only 5 non executive employees who showed high personal efficacy. The correlation coefficient of commitment with personal efficacy (n–100) came out to be 0.324 significant at 0.001 level.
