Abstract

          The main objective of this research study is to observe the relationship between the quality of work life and employee organizational commitment using documentary research technique including the study of research articles, academic papers, documents, and textbooks that focus on discussing the contributing factors between the relationship of quality of work life and employee organizational commitment. This research study has uncovered that the relationship between the quality of work life and employee organizational commitment consisted of two major variables, the quality of work life and employee organizational commitment, and could be demonstrated through three following theories. Firstly, Hewitt Associates’ theory could be further broken down into three influential factors including the desire to remain with the organization (Stay), devotion for the organization (Strive), and the feeling of care and having positive regards toward the organization (Say). Secondly, Meyer’s theory explains the relationship as an emotional attachment, persistence, and norm. Thirdly, Steers’ theory explains the relationship as a conviction to accept the organization’s objectives and set of values, a willingness to put considerable effort for the benefits of the organization, and a strong desire to remain a member of the organization.
