Bibliometric Analysis of Studies on Organizational Commitment and Job Performance (Web of Science and Scopus)

Organizational commitment; it means devotion, loyalty or commitment (Mercan 2006). Organizational commitment has received high attention in recent years due to the fact that it has the task of maintaining order in the enterprise. Most of the theoretical studies on this subject have revealed two different views. At first glance, Morrow (1983) suggests that the word commitment means turnover, performance, etc. in order to understand the important consequences of the effects of the effects on the elements, he suggested that they should be handled differently from the related concepts (Meyer and Allen 1997). According to another view, Reichers (1985) suggested that organizational commitment should not be evaluated as a one-dimensional concept, and accordingly, commitment should be evaluated as a combination of commitment to different groups that make up the organization (Reichers, 1985). With the increase in organizational commitment, individuals are expected to increase in their job performance. As a concept, job performance is the effort that employees in the organization require in return for wages (Rousseau & McLean, 1993). Kohli (1985) evaluated job performance as the productivity level of the employee's work-related behaviors and outcomes that emerge more than their peers. With this research, it is aimed to reveal the studies on organizational commitment and job performance by researching them chronologically (Web of Science and Scopus). The data were analyzed using the Vosviewer program.
