The Relationship Between Organizational commitment and Job Motivation: The Negative Effect of Organizational Commitment and Moderating Effect of Workplace Spirituality

Abstract

Is the higher the positive organizational variable in the organization, the better? Based on the theory of Pierce and Aguinis (2013), who proposed the Too-much-of-a-good-thing effect, this study is designed to verify how organizational commitment, which was considered a positive organizational variable in organizational studies, affects the organizational effectiveness and the moderating effect of workplace spirituality as a moderating variable in that relationship. In order to achieve this research purpose, a survey was conducted on organizational members working in corporate organizations, and the data of the final 496 people were analyzed. As a result, under the condition of low workplace spirituality, it was confirmed a nonlinear relationship in which job motivation increases and then decreases as over-organizational commitment increases. However, under the condition of high workplace spirituality, a relationship was discovered in which job motivation nonlinearly increases as over-organizational commitment increases. Based on these results, the meaning, implications, and limitations of the study, as well as future studies, are all discussed.
