| Abstract | This study examines influence of psychological contract fulfillment and organization based selfesteem as antecedent of organizational commitment. Three instruments were used in the study, they are the psychological contract inventory by Rousseau (2005) develop to assess and focus on employee obligations, employer's obligation in the organization, the organization based self esteem by Pierce J.L, Gardner, D.G, Gummings L.L and Dunham R.B (1989) to measure organizational based self-esteem and organizational commitment scale by Meyer and Allen (1997) to measure three types of organizational commitment namely affective, continuance and normative commitment. The sample was made up of one hundred and fifty participants, sixty-eight (68) male and eighty-two (82) female drawn from the population of interest (Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Iworoko High School, Iworoko Ekiti, Christ Girls School, Ado-Ekiti, Christ Boys School, Ado-Ekiti, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Ado Ekiti and Ekiti State Government Secretariat). Three hypotheses were tested; Pearson correlation, t-test and regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results shows that psychological contract obligation have an impact on organizational commitment and all its dimensions except normative commitment, psychological contract fulfillment determines normative commitment and organizational commitment as a whole but not affective and continuance commitment. And the result of the third hypotheses shows that employees who have high organizational based self-esteem tends to be more committed to the organization than those with low organizational based self-esteem. Findings were discussed in relation to existing literature and it was noted that employer and employee should take cognizance of their obligations to each other so as to increase workers self esteem in an organization. |
