ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE OF THE GHANA AUDIT SERVICE

ABSTRACT

The study sought to examine the relationship between the constructs -

organizational commitment and employee performance at Ghana Audit

Service (GAS). After existing literature was reviewed and the context of the

study discussed, appropriate hypotheses were developed. Structured

questionnaire was employed to collect data from 96 Ghana Audit Service

(GAS) employees in the central region of Ghana. The data was analyzed using

descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings

indicated that, out of the three dimensions of organizational commitment

examined, only one (Normative Commitment) had a positive significant

relationship with employees work performance. This means that generally,

employee’s commitment at Ghana Audit Service does not impact work

performance except their commitment is normative. The study recommends

management’s continuous support for staff in their quest to better develop

themselves in both their personal and career objective so as to improve their

commitment and work performance.
