The originality of this study lies in its synthesis of key findings from existing publications, offering an updated perspective on how these factors contribute to modern organizational dynamics. Its practical implications are significant, providing managers with insights on how to enhance employee retention and performance by fostering commitment and satisfaction in today's competitive business environment.
