Abstract:
The study sought to examine the relationship between the constructs -
organizational commitment and employee performance at Ghana Audit
Service (GAS). After existing literature was reviewed and the context of the
study discussed, appropriate hypotheses were developed. Structured
questionnaire was employed to collect data from 96 Ghana Audit Service
(GAS) employees in the central region of Ghana. The data was analyzed using
descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings
indicated that, out of the three dimensions of organizational commitment
examined, only one (Normative Commitment) had a positive significant
relationship with employees work performance. This means that generally,
employee’s commitment at Ghana Audit Service does not impact work
performance except their commitment is normative. The study recommends
management’s continuous support for staff in their quest to better develop
themselves in both their personal and career objective so as to improve their
commitment and work performance.
