Indirect Effects of Core Work Values on Organizational Commitment

The Mediating Roles of Work Environment and Work Interactions

Abstract

This study intends to investigate the underlying effects of core work values on organizational commitment. At the same time, it also tries to identify the mediating roles of work environment and work interactions among employees from an academic institution in Olongapo City, Philippines. To achieve the objectives, the investigators used a mediation analysis with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 26 employing Hayes' Process Macro Model. The study also utilized a purposive sampling technique in which 150 participants took part in the data gathering. The instrument came from a previous paper that underwent modification, validation, pilot testing, and reliability testing. Based on the result of the modelling, the study found that core work values have no effect on the employees' organizational commitment. However, the mediation roles of work environment and work interactions showed significant results in the relationship between core work values and organizational commitment. The study also showed that the work environment has a more substantial mediating effect than the work interactions of the employees. Lastly, the indirect paths of work environment and interactions significantly mediate the relationship between core work values and organizational commitment, revealing a meaningful mediating effect.
