Investigating the Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Job Burnout: A Case Study of Shahin Shahr Gas Company, Iran in 2021

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between organizational commitment and job burnout among employees of Shahin Shahr Gas Company in Iran. A random sample of 200 employees, evenly split between men and women, participated in the research. Data were collected using the Organizational Commitment Scale and the Job Burnout Scale. Statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation, stepwise regression, simple regression, and independent samples t-test, were employed. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between normative and overall organizational commitment with depersonalization. Additionally, personal accomplishment was positively correlated with affective, normative, and overall organizational commitment. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that personal accomplishment positively predicted 6.1% of the variance in affective commitment. Depersonalization was a significant negative predictor of normative commitment, explaining 20.4% of its variance. Combined, depersonalization and personal accomplishment accounted for 12.9% of the variance in overall organizational commitment. Furthermore, t-test results showed no significant differences in organizational commitment and job burnout between male and female employees.
