ABSTRACT: The primary focus of this study was to understand the workplace stress by
exploring the effects of organisational culture and stress on employee
commitment. The attempt was to bridge the gap among organisational culture,
workplace stress and employee commitment. Although the concepts of
organizational culture and stress have been well researched upon in the past, a
few studies provide detailed insights into
the interplay among the concepts of organisational culture, workplace stress and commitment. This investigation
therefore understood this interplay within pharmaceutical industries
located in two districts: Solan and Sirmour in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
The questionnaire was used to gather data from the staff through survey by
using a questionnaire. The analysis of statistical results interestingly reveals
that the pharmaceutical industry exhibits a hierarchical culture that is
supportive. The staffs have too much work to do with less time for the
accomplishment. The assessment of employee commitment further revealed that the
employees were pleased with the reward system of the industry. The relationship
among organisational culture, stress and commitment was significant. The study
suggests that there is a need to change the work load policy, reduce the stress
levels of the employees and improve the organisational commitment of the
employees.
