Çelik, G and Oral, E (2021) Mediating effect of job satisfaction on the organizational commitment of civil engineers and architects. International Journal of Construction Management, 21(10), pp. 969-986. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
As processes requiring the long-term collaborations of a large number of different teams, the dynamic structure of construction projects render their management difficult. Human resources constitute the backbone of the managerial processes. One of the most important factors causing difficulties in the construction industry is the frequently changing labor force due to employee turnover. Here, the work-related perceptions of employees play an important role because of their effects on employees' commitment to the workplace. The psychology of the employees depends on numerous variables. This study aims to uncover the concepts forming and affecting the work-related attitudes and perceptions of the construction industry workers and investigate the relationships among them. A multivariate model through which the effects of the personality traits, job satisfaction, professional commitment and organizational commitment of the employees were investigated and tested using the Structural Equation Modeling method and recommendations were offered in light of our results. When the relationship between the variables were investigated, the relationship between personality and organizational commitment was determined with the help of the mediating effect of job satisfaction.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
