Background: This study seeks to examine the relationship and impact of occupational health and safety on employees' organizational commitment in Ghana's mining industry. The study explores occupational health and safety and the different dimensions of organizational commitment. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used for this study. The respondents were selected based on simple random sampling. Out of 400 questionnaires administered, 370 were returned (77.3% male and 22.7% female) and used for the study. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to determine the relationship and impact between the variables. Results: The findings of this study revealed positive and significant relationship between occupational health and safety management, and affective, normative, and continuance commitment. Additionally, the results revealed the significant impact of occupational health and safety on affective, normative, and continuance commitment. Conclusion: Management within the mining sector of Ghana must recognize the fact that workers who feel healthy and safe in the performance of their duties, develop emotional attachment and have a sense of obligation to their organization and are most likely committed to the organization. Employees do not just become committed to the organization; rather, they expect management to first think about their health and safety needs by instituting good and sound policy measures. Thus, management should invest in the protection of employees' health and safety in organizations.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent to which job satisfaction affects organization commitment and organization performance among industrial security personnel. To this end, we attempted to conduct a four-week survey from August 28 to September 22, 2023, targeting about 150 workers working as industrial security guards in the field. According to the survey, the variables were comprised of "first, job satisfaction, second, organization commitment and third, organization performance" and based on this, three research hypotheses were proposed. After confirming that the internal consistency of each measurement item was satisfied, discriminant validity and conceptual reliability were calculated, and the discriminant validity of each variable was verified. As a result of the analysis, after conducting regression analysis to verify the research model, the results show that among the three research hypotheses, "Job Satisfaction ⇨ Organization Commitment, Job Satisfaction ⇨ Organization Performance" was found to be statistically significant and was adopted. We calculated that "Organization Commitment ⇨ Organization Performance" was not significant and was rejected.

The present study aimed to survey doctors working in five university hospitals about internal customer satisfaction and organization commitment level in order to identify casual relationships through structure equations. According to the analysis, organization management had the biggest impact on internal customer satisfaction level, and the sooner the factor was named personnel, leadership, job, and compensation, the bigger the impact it had on the level. The research model was generally found to be good in terms of goodness of fit, considering the value of $x^2$ calculated as 103.314, the degrees of freedom of 38, GFI 0.924, AGFT 0.868, NFI 0.888, CFI 0.925, and RMSEA 0.086. In conclusion, the internal customer satisfaction level of doctors was significantly proportionate to organization commitment by means of their general satisfaction level, while also being directly proportionate to organization commitment (p<0.05). Meanwhile, statistical significance could not be found when measuring the effects of the doctors' basic characteristics on the levels of internal customer satisfaction and general satisfaction in hospitals.

This study empirically analyzed that the higher the organization culture and organization effectiveness of a tax administration organization, the higher the organization commitment and organization identification. It is significant in that there hasn't been a study that analyzed empirically using tax officials as the study subjects up until now. The results from the analysis showed that organization culture and organization effectiveness affect organization commitment and organization identification significantly. Specifically, the results showed that the higher the organization culture of the tax administration organization, the higher the emotional attachment to the organization by the tax officials; and the higher the organization effectiveness, the higher the organization commitment and organization identification. From the results, it could be confirmed that the organization culture and organization effectiveness have positive effects on increasing taxpayers' satisfaction levels with the service. Therefore, it could be known that the organization culture of the tax administration organization affects directly the organization effectiveness, and that it is an important factor that improves the organization commitment and organization identification of the employees.
