ABSTRACT: Working conditions in modern times are a key factor related to organizational
commitment, job satisfaction and fatigue among employees in pharmaceutical
companies. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of socio-demographic
and work factors on the levels of fatigue, organizational commitment and job
satisfaction in employees of pharmaceutical companies. Participants of varied
sectors (N = 102) completed the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), the Meyer and
Allen Organizational Commitment Questionnaire as well as the Employee
Satisfaction Inventory (ESI). The results showed that factors such as age,
holding or not a position of responsibility, education, marital status, staff
specialization, working hours per week, the total working experience as well as
the years of work in the department in which the employees are now occupied,
have a statistically significant effect on
fatigue, organizational commitment and job satisfaction. In conclusion, it
seems that there is an effect of various socio-demographic and work factors on
the variables under investigation.
