Career Stages, Job Satisfaction, Organisational CommitmentAbstract
The booming Information Technology sector in India has changed the employee-employer relationship. This article investigates the relationship between career stages and work values, organisational commitment and job satisfaction of employees to gain new insights. 190 employees at various career stages were administered three standardised reliable and valid questionnaires on work values, organisational commitment and job satisfaction. A significant difference in cognitive, affective, and instrumental values was seen across career stages. In addition, career stages were found to have no impact on organisational commitment and job satisfaction.
