I. INTRODUCTION
Human resource management has taken a new direction from the traditional role of only recruiting process and administrative roles to maximizing the productivity of an organization by enhancing the efficiency of its workforces. This is because they supervise the most essential factor of an effective organization. The dynamics in the business world necessitate the importance of ensuring that the employees are not only selected and well placed, but they have an enabling environment to succeed (Singh & Gupta, 2015). Organization maintained its stability in terms of productivity, financial viability and employee commitment when organizations can recruit, train, retrain and retain skilled individuals (Faloye, 2014). Organizational commitment is the individual psychological attachment to the organization, it lowers the level of intention to leave and gives higher level of productivity (Medhi, 2021; Eberman, Mazerolle & Eason, 2019; Frontinha, Eason, & Van 2019; Yousef, 2017).
Organizational commitment has been an essential factor in determining the success of an organization, when there is a constant decrease in productivity then there is a problem in commitment. Organizational commitment is the main factor in maintaining and increasing productivity, it also reduces turnover rate. Thus, decrease in productivity and increase in turnover rate signal problem of organizational commitment (Rusdiyanto, 2020, Jonathan, 2019, Latham, Borgogni & Petitta 2018).
