Organisational Commitment (OC) is an intense positive orientation towards an orbganisation, one's identification with it, viewing the organisation's goal as one's own and overstretching oneself to achieve the same. Motivation, a driving force for goal directed activity and OC, exerts considerable influence on various aspects of work performance and withdrawal behaviour. The present study is an attempt to explore determinants of organisational commitment and motivation from among 11 organisational variables.
