Item FACTORS AFFECTING INTENTION TO MIGRATE OF EXECUTIVES IN THE APPAREL INDUSTRY IN SRI LANKA(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) De Silva, H.P.D.T.; Gamage, P. N.Earnings from exports and the provision of employment opportunities make the apparel industry in Sri Lanka one of the most important industries in terms of its contribution to the nation’s economy. Still, the percentage of executives willing to migrate has been on the rise due to economic, workload and even career-oriented factors. This study aims to investigate the underlying factors that lead to the willingness to migrate among executives in the apparel sector of Sri Lanka. A quantitative and cross-sectional sample survey was used, and a questionnaire was sent to 165 executives of the organizations. The results were analyzed employing SPSS to compute correlation and regression analysis. The analysis revealed that migration intentions had a significant relationship with job satisfaction, organizational culture, organizational support, career development, compensation, economic conditions and political instability. Research results show that attention needs to be paid to intervention measures that prevent migration, including developing a good organization of the political and economic problems and developing more career opportunities. This research can also serve as a useful contribution for policymakers and industry owners on how best to devise policies designed to deal with migration determinants to improve executive retention and ensure the competitiveness and expansion of the sector.Item IMPACT OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT: A STUDY OF EXECUTIVES IN A LEADING MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN SRI LANKA(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Madhumal, W.A L.S.; Gamage, P. N.This research aimed to analyze the impact of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Organizational Commitment (OC) of the executive-level employees of a manufacturing firm in Sri Lanka. Today it is important to ensure commitment from employees to enhance organizational performance, especially for manufacturing companies depending on employee commitment in the global economy. Based on SET, the research aims to find out the relationship between employees’ perception of their organization’s support of their commitment, both affective, normative and continuance. From the research, the study found it suitable to adopt a quantitative research method in which the data was collected through self-developed questionnaires administered to 150 randomly selected executive employees of the organization. Three hundred questionnaires were distributed, and one hundred and ten were returned and considered valid. The statistical analysis used in this study was by means of built-in software SPSS for descriptive, correlational and regression analysis. This study establishes the importance of perceived organizational support as a cognitive process of encouraging organizational commitment as a strategic management tool. It is thus clear that by engaging with the support mechanisms to meet the needs of human resources, organizations foster organizational commitment, hence sustainable competitive advantage.
