- W2290820009 abstract "The relationship between organizational commitment among public health employees within South Africa is becoming a big concern as highlighted in media and studies. Organizational commitment is stated to be an increasingly popular research subject (Young, Worchel & Woehr, 1998). Mathieu and Zajac (1990) cited in Meyer and Allen (1997) maintains that reduced organizational commitment may contribute to greater absenteeism and turnover. Meyer and Allen's (1997) research corroborates that of Mathieu and Zajac's (1990) in which it was found that the higher an employee's organizational commitment, the lower is the employee's rate of voluntary absence. Tyler (1997) contends that a lack of organizational commitment consequently leads to absenteeism, lost productivity, unnecessary leave pay and overtime pay. In terms of absenteeism, with reference to sick leave absence, the Department of Health: Western Cape appears bleak. As the ultimate goal in the public health sector is service delivery and the vision of health care 2010 equal access to quality care, it is vital that all employees perform accordingly and maintain their commitment to the institution, hence, contributing to the vision and mission of providing health care. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational commitment and absenteeism amongst different occupational classes within a health sector environment in the Western Cape region. For the purpose of the study a quantitative, non – probability convenience sampling method was used to assess the relationship between organizational commitment and absenteeism. The sample group (N = 120) consisted of permanent and contract male and female public health employees, extending across various occupational classes inter alia: Director, Pharmacist, Pharmacist Assistant, Auxiliary Service Officer, Administrative Clerk, Administrative Officer and State Accountant. A biographical questionnaire, organizational commitment questionnaire and an absenteeism questionnaire were administered to gather data. Statistical analyses revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship between organizational commitment and absenteeism. Several biographical factors were significant in explaining the variance in both organizational commitment and absenteeism. While the results contribute to the knowledge base concerning these variables postulated to play a pivotal role in industrial and organizational psychology, these results offer tenuous explanations for the obtained findings. Based on methodological shortcomings alluded to in the research, a more rigorous methodological design, based on the method of triangulation could possibly have added meaningful qualitative information to corroborate research findings. These recommendations as well as the implications for absenteeism and organizational commitment from both an individual and organizational perspective are highlighted in a heuristic model." @default.
