This research paper is an attempt to study the effects of multiple dimensions of work environment on need satisfaction in Asias largest public sector organization. Significant zero-order (p<.001) correlation of perceived work environment with need satisfaction was observed. Robustness check to use OLS Multiple Regression Analysis was carried out and satisfied. Multiple regression analysis showed six critical predictors in perceived work environment of need satisfaction, explaining 50.09% of the variance. Cohens ƒ2 values showed effect size magnitude is real and is very large varying from 0.672 to 1.037. Implications for organisation are discussed.Keywords

In the present article, a search for antecedents of organisational commitment in quality of work life, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction among university teachers was made. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the fit of the model that identified quality of work life, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction statistically significant correlates and antecedents of organisational commitment. Our models provided a good fit. Direct and indirect effects of exogenous variables on endogenous variables were estimated and resultant percent of variance accounted into organisational commitment was reported. Implications and suggestions for future research were proposed.These findings provide the knowledge for mangers to set an eye on these psychological variables as valuable factors to enhance commitment of employees.
