Abstract
During the last decades working conditions remain a crucial factor associated with organizational commitment, fatigue and job satisfaction among employees in pharmaceutical industry. The aim of the present study was to explore the differences between groups with various levels of fatigue regarding organizational commitment and job satisfaction. The association of organizational commitment with job satisfaction was also examined. Participants of different sectors (N=102) working in pharmaceutical companies completed the Meyer and Allen Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and the Employee Satisfaction Inventory (ESI). The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between non fatigued and fatigued employees concerning organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Moreover, a statistically significant correlation was observed between organizational commitment and job satisfaction. In conclusion, it seems that fatigue and job satisfaction affect organizational commitment.
