The Effect of the Organizational Communication on Organizat ional Commitment through Job Satisfaction: Focusing on Irre gular Workers

Abstract

Due to the rapidly changing economic environment and industrial structure, the proportion of irregular workers is gradually increasing. This study aims to provide evidence that can be used to establish HR strategies for irregular workers who have less loyalty or job satisfaction to the organization than regular workers. The result of this study is as follows: First, we verified that a satisfaction of organizational communication perceived by irregular workers had a positive effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Second, a job satisfaction of irregular workers was analyzed to have a positive effect on organizational commitment. Third, a job satisfaction was found to have a mediating effect in the relationship between organizational communication satisfaction and organizational commitment of irregular workers. Theseresults show that irregular workers also need smooth communication activities like regular workers in order to increase their job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Since the improvement of job satisfaction through smooth organizational communication activities can be an important factor in improving organizational immersion, the results of this study can be the basis for establishing an organizational communication plan that encompasses both regular and irregular workers. This study has a meaningful implication in that it provided a clue to re-establish the relationship between the effectiveness of organizational communication and job satisfaction and organizational commitment to irregular workers with relatively few studies.
