An Empirical study on Employee Recruitment Satisfaction and Organizational commitment Pre and Post Covid-19

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped organizational practices globally, with employee recruitment and organizational commitment among the most significantly affected domains. This empirical study investigates and compares employee recruitment satisfaction and organizational commitment before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Using a structured survey of 100 respondents and analysing data through descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, and structural equation modelling (SEM), the research identifies critical patterns and predictors of employee satisfaction. The findings reveal that pre-pandemic experiences of recruitment and commitment significantly influence current satisfaction levels, more so than post-pandemic experiences. Despite moderate model fit in SEM, strong covariances between post-pandemic recruitment satisfaction and organizational commitment suggest digital processes can still foster employee loyalty. No significant gender-based differences were found, indicating consistency across demographic segments. The study highlights the enduring importance of pre-pandemic organizational culture and recommends integrating those strengths into future hybrid and digital HR practices. These insights provide valuable direction for HR professionals aiming to enhance recruitment strategies and employee engagement in a post-COVID landscape.
