commitment, c) Extrinsic motivation level is a predictor of job
commitment. Survey research design and convenient sampling technique

sadder area of the Lahore, Pakistan. Organizational Commitment
Questionnaire (OCQ, Porter, 1974), Work Motivation Scale (MAWS,
Gagne, 2010) were used for assessment. Pearson Product Moment
Correlation and Regression analysis were conducted to generate results
