THE EFFECT OF JOB SATISFACTION ON ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND WORK DISCIPLINE: A STUDY OF FOUNDATION PERMANENT LECTURERS IN STIE YAPAN SURABAYA

Abstract

This research aimed to examine the effect of job satisfaction on organizational commitment and work discipline, and the effect of organizational commitment on work discipline. This research involved active foundation permanent lecturers in STIE (School of Economics) YAPAN Surabaya. The data analysis technique used was path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to confirm the indicators explaining the construct or variable. Confirmatory factor analysis results proved that all indicators of each variable were able to explain the variables of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and work discipline. The results of path analysis indicate that job satisfaction influenced organizational commitment, organizational commitment influenced discipline, and job satisfaction influenced work discipline. The results of this research support the theory that the more satisfied employees are, the more committed and disciplined they are in carrying out their duties. The practical implications of this research are expected to be taken into consideration for the foundation in terms of making policies and decisions related to job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work discipline. The foundation is suggested to pay more attention to the dimensions of salaries, normative commitment, and work discipline because these dimensions are perceived poorly.
