    Effect of The Leader – Member Relationship on the Organizational Commitment towards Sales Force Turnover Intention of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Sector of Sri Lanka: A Conceptual Review
    (Department of Marketing Management, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2018) Wimalana, N.; Dhammika, K.A.S.; Fernando, W.R.P.K.
    Leader –Member relationship (LMX) has been identified by many scholars as an antecedent towards the Organizational Commitment (OC) of the employees. Many academics have concluded that OC is the strongest predictor towards employee turnover. This theory has been tested in the Western world but unfortunately very little literature is found in the Asian Context. When you look at more specifically in the Sri Lankan context with a focus on the sales force in the FMCG industry, the theoretical support on the relationships amongst these variables is almost zero. Few research conducted in this arena has identified that the sales force turnover is a critical issue faced by the FMCG industry during the post- war era in Sri Lanka. Therefore, this study intended to enlighten the knowledge on the antecedents towards the sales force turnover in the FMCG industry in Sri Lanka with a clear focus on the organizational commitment of the members in the sales force influenced by the leader member relationship. The discussion of empirical thoughts supports the managers in the industry to consider sale force motivation strategies holistically rather limiting to financial perspectives. Paper concluded the future research directions addressing to the key empirical contents discussed.

    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya., 2020) Tijani, O.O.; Okunbanjo, O.I.
    Authentic leadership as a contemporary leadership behaviour has generated more attention in this 21st century. Thus, this study investigated authentic leadership and organisational commitment in information technology industry in Nigeria focusing on Techmahindra Nigeria. The study employed survey research design as well as simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires from 180 employees in Techmahindra Nigeria but 151copies of questionnaire were retrieved. The results from the regression analysis indicated that authentic leadership (self-awareness, internalised moral perspective, relational transparency and balanced processing) has a positive and significant effect on organisation commitment (affective, normative and continuance). The study recommended that organisations should organize training programmes for their leaders on how to exhibit the qualities of an authentic leader in the running of the organizations.

    Spirituality at Work: The Role of Spirituality Dimensions in Fostering Organizational Commitment
    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya., 2018) Sewwandi, D. K.
    Organizational Commitment is one of the key determinants of organizational success. This knowledge era where Human resource is considered as the main strategic resource demands the full potential and commitment of the work force to win an edge over competition. Such commitment can no longer promote through traditional strategies alone but can only be fostered when conditions are available for employees to bring their ‘whole self’-physical, mental and spiritual selves- to work place. Hence, call for spiritual values at work is increasing as employees seek opportunities for enriched work performed within the context of an organizational community along with personal and work goal congruence. Organizational commitment when fostered through these spiritual dimensions will be much consistent and long-lasting than temporary attachment generated through time- to- time material rewards. Hence, this conceptual paper aims at surfacing the grounds within which these two concepts can be linked for the betterment of the organization and its stakeholders.
