Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to explore the relationships between two work-related factors (personenvironment
fit and job security) and organizational commitment among Millennial employees in Thailand.
Moreover, the study investigated the moderating role of job satisfaction and its influence on those relationships.
A cross-sectional survey was distributed to Millennial employees across thirteen companies located in Bangkok,
Thailand where a total of 400 responses were obtained.
Correlational analysis revealed significant positive relationships between person-environment fit, job security,
and organizational commitment. Amongst the predictors of organizational commitment, a regression analysis
indicated job satisfaction as the strongest predictor variable and person-environment fit as the weakest. Job
satisfaction as a moderator variable enhanced the influence of work-related factors. The results of ANOVA
testing and a series of t-tests showed that among the demographic variables – age, marital status, job level, and
tenure have a significant relation to the perception of person-environment fit and job security.
