Job Related Stress, Organizational Commitment, And Job Satisfaction Among Government Officials

The study was designed to examine the relationship between job stress, job sati faction, and the level of job commitment among government officials. The Job Feeling Scale (Wysocki & Kromm, 1986), the Commitment Scale (Porter, Steers, Mowday, & Boulian, 1974), and Anxiety Stress Questionnaire (House & Rizzo, 1972) were administered to a sample of 50 federal government officials. They were divided into two groups according to their job grades, i.e., grades 17 to 18 (n=25) and grades 19 to 21 (n=25). The results showed a significant difference between high and low stress group in relation to job satisfaction. The difference between two groups in relation to job stress, job satisfaction, and level of job commitment were not significant.
