Abstract:
Facing today’s business fierce competition, companies have to adopt an organizational learning climate as this kind of climate enhances employees to share knowledge continuously to achieve their best performance. Apart from their competence- in line with literature- managers have to be affectively committed to result in their best performance. Both the organizational learning climate and managers’ affective commitment are assumed to have a positive effect on the corporate performance. In addition, high job satisfaction is indicated to be positively correlated with affective commitment and learning climate. This study aims to find out the correlation between job satisfaction and affective commitment; between affective commitment and corporate performance, and between organizational learning climate and corporate performance. Based on statistical analysis, this study found out that job satisfaction is significantly correlated with affective commitment. Both affective commitment and organizational learning climate have a positive correlation with corporate performance. However, applying step-wise linier multiple regression analysis, the affective commitment contributed around forty-four percent towards the corporate performance. Therefore, affective commitment plays a very important role in achieving high corporate performance.
