Abstract

The study sought to find out the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees under Uganda manufacturer’s Association (UMA). The study intended to achieve the following objectives, to examine the levels of job satisfaction, to determine the levels of organizational commitment and finally to find out the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. A correlational study design was used in the study to establish the relationship between the two variables. The study used a total sample of 49 respondents who were subjected to simple random sampling technique of sampling. Data was then collected using self-administered questionnaires and a link. The researcher analysed data using statistical package for social scientist version 23 (SPSS) and Pearson corelation coefficient (r) was used to test the hypothesis. The levels of job satisfaction were found to be high. Results revealed fairly high levels of organizational commitment. Findings also revealed that there is a non-significant relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment (r=.241, p>0.05). The levels of job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees under UMA are relatively and fairly high respectively. There is relatively no significant relationship between the two variables. Several policies should be drafted by organizations to support employee’s well-being rather than solely focusing on obtaining big produces and profits.
