Factors Influencing Job Commitment of Operational Workers in Electronic Factories, Wuhan, China

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to analyze factors that influence the job commitment of operational workers in electronic factories in Wuhan, China, using Herzberg’s two-factor theory. The sample group consisted of 400 operational workers from electronic factories in Wuhan, China. At the statistical significance level of 0.05, descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were employed to analyze data, as were inferential statistics such as Independent Samples test, One-way ANOVA, LSD, and Multiple Linear Regression. The results found that most respondents were female, married, had a high school or lower educational background, were operational staff, and had been working for 6 months to one year. The hypotheses found that marital status, educational background, and job position differences affect commitment. The motivation factors, including appreciation, duty, achievement, and possibility of growth, influenced job commitment. The maintenance factors, including pay, status, work safety, interpersonal relationships, and policy and administration, influenced job commitment.
