Description
Summary:This study was designed to examine followership styles and its relationship with organizational commitment. This non-experimental study employed a quantitative survey design with a set of surveys returned representing 140 employees at three shopping malls in Kuching which are Vivacity Megamall, The Spring Shopping Mall and AEON Mall Kuching Central. The two standardized instruments used in this study include The Followership Questionnaires (Kelley, 1992) and The Measure of Organizational Commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1990). A Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient revealed findings that indicate there is a positive relationship between the pragmatist and the exemplary followership styles and organizational commitment. However, there is a negative relationship between passive styles and organizational commitment. Conversely, the analysis revealed no significant relationship between alienated and conformist followership styles and organizational commitment. The findings enhance the theoretical study of followership and organizational commitment by providing empirical evidence needed to validate further research.
