Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of job security on employees’ commitment and job satisfaction in Qom municipalities. This research is conducted as a descriptive and field study. Its population consists of employees (N = 158). To collect data, two Wysocki and Kromm job satisfaction and Mowday, Steers and Porter organizational commitment questionnaires were utilized. To analyze data, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, t-test and step-by-step multivariable regression analysis test were used. Research findings show that there is a significant difference between hired/contractual employees and organizational commitment. In the meantime, there is a difference between employees’ job satisfaction but it is not significant. There is also a positive and direct significant correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Multivariable regression test shows that wage satisfaction and colleagues’ satisfaction have the highest impact on organizational commitment.
