Abstract


The importance of performance management cannot be underestimated in employee

organizational commitment. Organizational commitment is a psychological link which exist

between the employer and the employee, which makes the employee to be more committed to the

goals and achievement of the organization and making it less likely that the employee will

voluntarily leave the organization and thus which an employee develops an attachment and feels

a sense of allegiance to his or her employer to the extent that the employees believe in the

mission and value of the employer which makes them ever ready to stay in the job so that the

goals and mission of the organization is achieved . Social exchange theory was used to anchor

the study and the study considered employee welfare and job rotation among other performance

management, descriptive statistic method was adopted and Pearson product-moment correlation

was employed to analyze raised hypothesis, 150 serving police personnel was selected based on

the purposive and convenient method. The result of the first hypothesis stated that , there is no

significant relationship between employee welfare and employee organizational commitment as

it was found at significant r= 0.711; pp<0.05. The second hypothesis stated there is no

significant relationship between job rotation and employee organizational commitment, and it

was found to be at significant r= 0.179; p<0.05. This study was recommended that

Organizational leaders, instructors, and supervisors should develop positive connections that

would result in increased employee level of wiliness to perform roles beyond their required role.

Also, Police management should endeavour to provide necessary welfare to the employees in a

manner that would enhance employees' desire to act or perform beyond their required role.
