Abstract
Motivation positively affects work performance because if employees are not motivated to work, they will not exhibit positive work behavior. Organizational commitment serves as an example of the relationship between a worker and the company. Organizational commitment is attained when both the business and the person are concerned in maintaining their working relationship. In this research a comparative study was conducted on employee motivation and organizational commitment of public and private limited tea garden workers of Assam, India. Two different questionnaires were administered for data collection. (1) Questionnaire on organizational commitment developed by Hyde and Roy (2006). (2) Questionnaire on employee motivation developed by Srivastava (1988). For this study, a total of 238 workers were chosen as respondents. Out of 238 respondents 100 respondents were chosen from public limited and 138 respondents were chosen from private limited tea garden of Assam. Out of 100 public tea garden workers, 46 were male and 54 were female. Similarly, 76 of the 138 employees at private tea gardens were women compared to 62 men. The method of random sampling was used to collect the information. The respondents' age ranged from 22 to 52 years. The main objective of this study is to find out the significant difference between public and private Ltd. tea garden workers. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) were employed for data analysis. Data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics including ‘t’ test to see the significant differences between two public and private Ltd. tea garden workers, and Inferential statistics –ANOVA to see the significant differences between four groups of employees (Public male &female and Private male and female). In terms of employee motivation and organizational commitment, the ‘t' results demonstrate that there is a considerable difference between public and private, public male and female, and private male and female tea garden workers. ANOVA result shows the significant difference among the four groups.
