Abstract The textile industry in India, particularly in Erode District of Tamil Nadu, is a significant contributor to employment and regional economic development. However, challenges related to employee absenteeism, turnover, and low commitment levels affect organisational productivity and workforce stability. This study examines the level and determinants of organisational commitment among employees in the textile industry in Erode. Using the Three-Component Model of Commitment by Meyer and Allen, the study measures affective, continuance, and normative commitment.
A structured questionnaire was administered to 434 respondents across garment manufacturing, dyeing, and weaving units. The data were analysed using SPSS with tools such as descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, factor analysis, and regression. The results reveal that affective commitment is significantly influenced by job satisfaction, leadership quality, and work environment, while continuance commitment is driven by economic necessity. Normative commitment is moderately influenced by ethical work culture and organisational support. The study provides recommendations for HR strategies aimed at enhancing organisational commitment to reduce absenteeism and improve retention.
