Abstract

In the last five years, the turnover rate of the operation employees in Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) has augmented and attend a critical level, particularly with the government's early retirement attractive approach. Bapco starts to lose highly experienced employees who have a significant impact on the performance of the company. Moreover, the new oil discovery and the modernization of the production units push Bapco to minimize the turnover rate and retain talents to stay competitive. This study examines how organizational commitment has affected the Bahrain Petroleum Company's operation employees turnover intent. The tridimensional model of (Meyer and Allen in Commitment in the workplace: theory, research, and application, Sage, 1997) was used to evaluate organizational commitment. In addition, Abrams et al. (Personality Soc Psychol Bull 24(10): 1027-1039, 1998) model of Turnover Intention was used to examine employee intents to leave the firm. This work reports on a quantitative study of the Bapco operations employees. 154 questionnaires were collected, and the data were analysed with SPSS version 23. The results confirm a significant impact of the three dimensions of OC on TI. These results join previous research and conclude that OC can be used to understand and reduce Bapco operation employees' TI.

组织承诺与离职意愿调查——以巴林石油天然气行业为例

在过去的五年中，巴林石油公司（Bapco）的运营员工的流动率已经增加并达到了一个临界水平，特别是在政府的提前退休政策的吸引下。Bapco开始失去对公司业绩有重大影响的经验丰富的员工。此外，新的石油发现和生产装置的现代化促使Bapco尽量减少人员流动率，并保留人才以保持竞争力。本研究考察了组织承诺对巴林石油公司运营员工离职意向的影响。采用（Meyer和Allen在《工作场所承诺：理论、研究和应用》，Sage, 1997）的三维模型对组织承诺进行评价。此外，Abrams et al. （Personality Soc Psychol Bull 24(10): 1027- 1039,1998）的离职意向模型被用来检验员工的离职意向。这项工作报告了对Bapco运营员工的定量研究。共收集问卷154份，采用SPSS 23版对数据进行分析。结果证实了OC的三个维度对TI的显著影响。这些结果与先前的研究相结合，得出OC可以用来理解和降低Bapco运营员工的TI的结论。
