Internal Social Responsibility and Its Impact on Job Commitment: Empirical Study on Jordanian Cement Manufacturing Co.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between internal social responsibility and job commitment from a sample of 131-employees in Jordanian Cement Manufacturing Co. This study adopts the descriptive analytical methodology both theoretical and practical. Results showed a positive statistically strong relationship between the organizational structure and job commitment. Further, results also showed a negative relationship between the managerial policies and organizational commitment; and no statistically significant relationship between corporate innovation and job commitment. This study concludes with a number of recommendations that call for clearly identified management policies; enhancement of the innovation process at a larger scale that motivates job commitment among employees. This study calls for further studies that measure the effect of innovation, as one of internal social responsibility dimensions, on job commitment in industrial companies such as the Arab Potash Co. and Jordan Petroleum Refinery Co. to find out whether they agree or disagree with results from this study.
