Satisfaction and Commitment
Currivan, D. B. (2000). The causal order of job satisfaction and organizational
commitment in models of employee turnover. Human Resource Management Review,
9(4), 495-524. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1053-4822(99)00031-5

29. High Job Satisfaction
= High Commitment
•Most of casino workers has high job satisfaction due to positive working
environment & satisfied salary.
•Research shows positive job satisfaction leads to positive commitment.
•Survey indicated half of casino workers are <5 years working experience; another
half are >5 years.
(Source: Relationships among Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, and
Turnover Intention: Evidence from the Gambling Industry in Macau Jen Hung Wang1 ,
Kuan Chen Tsai2 , Luo Jia Ru Lei1 , Im Fan Chio1 , Sut Kam Lai1)

30. High Commitment
= Low Turnover Tendency
•As casino workers are committed to the company, they have lower turnover tendency.
•Findings shows that employee >5 years working experience with current company has
much higher commitment and low tendency of leaving; <5 years working experience
has lower commitment and higher tendency of leaving.
•Background research shows that most of casino workers’ highest education level is
high-school graduates. Therefore indicating casino workers most likely will stay within
gambling industry instead of looking for job opportunities of other nature. This may
explain higher job commitment among casino workers.
(Source: Relationships among Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, and
Turnover Intention: Evidence from the Gambling Industry in Macau Jen Hung Wang1 ,
Kuan Chen Tsai2 , Luo Jia Ru Lei1 , Im Fan Chio1 , Sut Kam Lai1)

31. High Job Satisfaction
= High Turnover Tendency
•Research shows higher job satisfaction but is also proportional to high turnover
tendency, which is not consistent with the Causal Order.
•This may explain by abundant of job opportunities in Macau casino, higher pay
offered by other company attracts workers to leave their current job despite they are
satisfied and committed.—( Carsteon and Spector ,1987)
•Low promotion rate among casino workers is a contributing factor to high turnover
rate.

Turnover Intention: Evidence from the Gambling Industry in Macau Jen Hung Wang1 ,
