The present study was designed to investigate the relationship among work motivation, organisational commitment, and job satisfaction of female police constables. 50 female police constables were selected purposively and conveniently as sample from the headquarters of Dhaka Metropolitan Police situated in Dhaka city. Bangla versions of work motivation scale, Brayfield-Rothe job satisfaction scale and organisational commitment questionnaire were applied on the respondents respectively for the current investigation. Four hypotheses were formulated to test in the present study. Data were analyzed by applying Pearson product correlation and stepwise multiple regression methods. Results indicate that there are significant positive relationships of work motivation and organisational commitment with job satisfaction. Results also show that the variables of the present study are positively inter-correlated. Thus the findings confirm all the formulated hypotheses. Regression analysis indicates that organisational commitment and work motivation are the important predictors of job satisfaction which jointly explains 22.5% of variance in job satisfaction. R2 change further more indicates that work motivation is the best predictor which alone explains 18.2% of variation in job satisfaction. However, the findings of the present study suggest that achieving the organisational goals may be required work motivation and commited employees.Keywords

Manpower is the most significant investment in any institution. In this context, addressing employees’ mental health is a crucial responsibility of the organisation. Hence, the present study aims at inspecting the relationship between employees’ mental health and job performance of the garments workforce. Around 100 employees from different garments factories situated in the city of Dhaka were selected purposively for the research and 2 standardised measures – General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg & Williams, 1988) and Employees Job Performance Scale (Wiedower, 2001) – and a personal information form were administered. Further, to analyse the research data, both descriptive and inferential statics were employed by using the statistical package SPSS. The findings revealed that job performance was significantly and negatively linked to the mental health problem of the garments workforce, while among the mental health components, only somatic problems was significantly associated with their job performance. Additionally, no significant discrepancy was observed in the mental health and job performance of the garments workforce based on their gender and age. Further, regression analysis revealed that among all the mental health constructs (i.e., somatic problems, anxiety and sleep problems, social functioning, and depression), somatic problems was the strongest significant predictor of job performance; variation in job performance was accounted for by the joint linear influence of somatic problems, anxiety and sleep problems, social functioning, and depression. Therefore, it can be concluded that the workforces’ performance is influenced by their overall mental health status.Keywords
