The Mediating Effect of Organizational Commitment towards Organizational Culture and Job Burnout

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether organizational commitment can mediate the relationship between organizational culture and job burnout. The data were gathered using a questionnaire that included questions about burnout, organizational commitment, and organizational culture. The employees of private schools in Cagayan de Oro City (CDO) were the study's target population with at least five (5) years of professional experience. Findings revealed that Organizational Culture alone cannot predict Job Burnout. No matter what kind of culture exists in the respondents' workplace, it has no effect on their burnout. This demonstrates that respondents are resilient enough to combat the influence of even a bad organizational culture. Organizational Commitment (M) reduces the effect of Organizational Culture (X) on Job Burnout (Y). As Organizational Culture increases, Job Burnout decreases. Only when organizational commitment is included in the equation does culture have an effect on job burnout.
