Abstract
Current study aims at exploring the answer of two main questions. (1) measuring the extent to
which job satisfaction among police officers can predicts all three dimensions of
Organizational Commitment i.e (Affective, Continuance and Normative). (2) It also embarks
to assess the moderating effect of the demographic variables like gender and rank on the
relationship of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This is the empirical study in
which the sample of 550 male and female officers from Operations and Investigation wings
of the Lahore Police Stations have been taken. Participants have filled a self administered
questionnaire which comprised on Job Satisfaction scale JDI, Meyer and Allen
Organizational commitment scale along with demographic variables. Simple liner Regression
and Moderation analysis have carried out. Job satisfaction has found to be positively and
significantly associated with affective commitment and normative commitment but
negatively and significantly associated with continuance commitment. So Job satisfaction has
found to be a good predictor for all three facets (Affective commitment, Continuance
Commitment and Normative Commitment) of organizational commitment. Rank seems to be
a moderator for the relationship of job satisfaction and organizational commitment and
gender is found to be a moderator between the relationship of job satisfaction and normative
commitment.
