Abstract: On the basis of an in-depth analysis of the responses of managers of two organizations from the same industry, one from the public sector and the other from the private sector, the authors identified the determinants of managerial organizational commitment. Thereafter, a comparison has been made of the factors thus identified with those found through other studies on the subject to demonstrate the relevance, nature and extent of the relationship between organizational commitment and its drivers. As a departure from the conventional approach, the authors have attempted to develop an unbiased model for testing the relationship between variables as would emerge from the data suo motto. In the present day dynamic scenario of increased mobility, high employee turnover and a volatile talent market, the authors contend that it is necessary to identify organization-specific drivers of organizational commitment and to formulate commitment-inducing HR policies and practices.
