Abstract

In the entertainment sector, employees' perception of justice within the organisation affects the functioning and employee behaviours. Employees' experiences of justice in resource distribution, processes and communication determine their attitudes towards the organisation. The perception of injustice may reduce the motivation and commitment of employees. Based on this point, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between organisational commitment levels and motivation levels of individuals working in the entertainment sector. While the population of the research consists of individuals working in the entertainment sector in Antalya province, the sample group consists of 209 subjects. The data obtained from the subjects were analysed through statistical package programme (SPSS). Skewness and kurtosis tests were used to determine the distribution of the data. In the data analysis part, Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales. According to the findings, intrinsic motivation has a positive, significant and strong correlation with organisational commitment. On the other hand, the effect of extrinsic motivation on organisational commitment was found to be more limited. In addition, the low level of correlation of identifying motivation indicates that the integration process of individuals working in the tourism sector with their organisations may not always be at a high level. This finding can be interpreted as the employees' level of identification with the organisational identity may be affected by factors such as the dynamic structure of the sector and possible high staff turnover.
