Organizational Commitment of Employees at Bank of North Sumatra

Abstract

This research aims to determine the level of organizational commitment possessed by Bank of North Sumatra employees. The approach used in this study is quantitative. The population in this study were bank employees at the Bank of North Sumatra, with a sample size of 172 employees. The sampling technique used in this research is incidental sampling. Furthermore, data was collected using an organizational commitment scale in the form of a Likert scale. The organizational commitment scale was distributed directly to research subjects. After the data is collected, the data is processed using SPSS statistical software. The results of this research show that the majority of employees at the Bank of North Sumatra have low organizational commitment. Based on these findings, the Bank of North Sumatra is encouraged to take action to increase employees' organizational commitment in order to overcome the problem of low organizational commitment among its employees. A few actions that companies can take to increase employee organizational commitment are providing an environment that can reduce employees' stress levels and providing coaching for employees to manage work stress well. These actions are important because employees who have high commitment will work harder to achieve company goals and will be more responsible for their work and loyal to the company when compared to employees who do not have high organizational commitment. Therefore, having highly committed employees will make it easier for employees to achieve their goals and achieve success.
