Abstract : Organizations are facing tremendous pressure to enhance employee commitment and retain them in the organization. Among various factors that affect Organizational commitment, career anchors are seen as the prominent factor. It is then seen pertinent to identify the dominant and supporting career anchor that affects their commitment in organization which would help design relevant interventions to support the same. The objective of the study is to explore the relation between career anchors (as measured by Career Orientation Inventory) and Organizational commitment (as measured by Organizational Commitment Questionnaire). A survey was conducted among 100 employees working at information technology companies in India with variations in age, hierarchical levels and gender. Results of the study can be used to design appropriate work place interventions to enhance career orientation of employees and thereby increase their commitment towards the organization. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
