The study investigates the role of motivation on commitment of Health Care Employees (Doctors) conducted in a hospital in Kerala. The sample unit were doctors from a well to do, private Medical College Hospital. The sample size was limited to 100. The hypothesis: Motivation positively influences commitment. The Organizational Commitment (OC) is having a mean score of 4.32 indicating a strong sense of OC, which is as per expectations. Among the predictor variables, Inter Personal Relationship (IPR) (Mean 4.37), Staff Development Activities (SDA) (Mean 4.14) and Job Commitment (JC) (Mean 4.20) are responsible for the high Organizational Commitment. In Regression Analysis Output, the same predictor variables like Inter Personal Relationship (IPR) (Beta 0.27, P<.05), Staff Development Activities (SDA) (Beta 0.19, P<.05) and Job Commitment (JC) (Beta 0.49, P<.05) are responsible for the high Organizational Commitment. Other predictor variables are insignificant. The future study is to be done in at least two or more organizations from different settings (Government and Private) and a comparative set of factors driving Organizational commitment is to be studied.
