The Impact of Organizational Commitment and Supervisory Support on Employee Retention: Job Satisfaction as a Mediator in Pakistan’s Pharmaceutical Sector

Abstract

This research explores the impact of supervisory support and organizational commitment on employee retention, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating factor, within the context of Pakistan’s pharmaceutical sector. Centered on companies located in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar, the study integrates theoretical perspectives with empirical data to highlight the positive associations among job satisfaction, organizational commitment, supervisory support, and employee retention. Employees who are highly committed to their organization tend to demonstrate greater emotional engagement, increased productivity, and extended service duration. Additionally, supportive supervision contributes significantly to enhanced job satisfaction and retention levels. The results provide valuable guidance for developing effective human resource strategies within the pharmaceutical industry and beyond.
