Abstract:

This research explored how social support moderates the relationship between resiliency and organizational commitment among employees in the Canning Industry in General Santos City. The study employed a quantitative non-experimental research design with moderation analysis and descriptive correlation. Survey questionnaires, adapted for the study, were distributed to a randomly chosen sample of 100 workers in the General Santos City canning industry. The findings revealed a high degree of commitment, which included affective, continuance, and normative commitment. High levels of resilience were also observed in variables such as determination, interaction, relationship, problem-solving, organization, and self-confidence. Further, the study revealed high social support among canning sector workers in General Santos City. Results indicated that social support points out that social support does not play a moderating role in the relationship between resiliency and commitment. Implications in the light of the current findings are discussed.
