Abstract

Background / Objectives: Self Actualization denotes to an individual’s longing for selffulfilment, and the inclination of an individual to become actualized in his potential. This fondness
getting increased one specifically wants to become everything that he is capable of becoming
(Gopinath, 2020 a). Even though the term was coined by Goldstein, it was familiarised by Maslow as
a pinnacle of need in his in his hierarchy of needs. This inclination of attaining one’s potential makes
him work smarter and harder and he might always look for the opportunity for Self- Actualisation.
When his efforts are recognised by the organization the employee will get Job Satisfaction; which
may leads to Organisational Commitment in future.
Methods / Statistical Analysis: In this research, the researcher attempted to study the
relationship between Self- Actualisation and Organisational Commitment and the role of Job
Satisfaction in Organisational Commitment. For this purpose the researcher used descriptive research
design and collected 419 samples with the help of multi stage sampling technique.
Findings: The study found that there is significant positive relationship between selfactualisation and job satisfaction indicating that academic leaders with higher level of selfactualisation are more satisfied and committed in their job.
Conclusions: The structural equation model revealed that academic leader’s selfactualisation is significantly and positively related to organizational commitment, job satisfaction.
The researcher concludes programs and activities should be organized by academic leaders to
improve self-actualisation by means of which their level of satisfaction and organisational
commitment can be improved.
