Abstract
Employees are assets for an organization and to keep them committed to their workplace is a major challenge faced by many organizations. This study attempts to examine the impact of perceived organizational support (POS) on dimensions of organizational commitment among medical doctors working in healthcare organizations in Lahore. The study also compares the level of POS and organizational commitment between doctors working in public and private sector. A questionnaire consisting of 32 items was employed as the survey instrument. Data was collected from 160 respondents working in two private and two public hospitals. Data was analyzed through various statistical techniques such as, internal consistency reliability; correlation analysis; regression analysis; and t-test. Results suggest that there is significant positive relationship between POS and affective as well as normative commitment and insignificant relationship between POS and continuance commitment. It is suggested that management should take various measures to increase organizational support among employees thereby increasing organizational commitment.
