Correlations
Table I shows the correlations amongst the main variables of the study. The
strongest correlations can be seen between commitment and job satisfaction
ðr ¼ 0:70Þ; and between these variables and certain organizational culture and
leadership variables. Correlations ranging from 0.50 to 0.66 can be seen with
commitment and job satisfaction, for the innovative culture and supportive
culture factors, and the leadership style factor, consideration. It is also
interesting to note the near zero correlations of commitment and job
satisfaction with bureaucratic culture and the small, but statistically significant
correlation between job satisfaction and initiating structure ðr ¼ 0:35;
p , 0:01Þ: Regarding the demographic variables (variables 8-12), relatively
low correlations of less than 0.30 are found between these and the other main
variables of the study.
