Abstract
This study delves into the intricate relationship between labor relations atmosphere and job commitment among the new generation of technical workers in China’s building materials industry. Utilizing theoretical frameworks from social exchange theory, social cognition theory, and job-person fit theory, the study examines how different facets of labor relations atmosphere, encompassing win-win cooperation, labor-capital confrontation, and employee participation, impact the job commitment of technical workers. The findings of this study underscore the significant positive impact of a favorable labor relations atmosphere on job commitment, while also highlighting the detrimental effects of a confrontational atmosphere. Furthermore, the study reveals that career growth acts as a partial mediator in this relationship, highlighting the importance of providing opportunities for career advancement to enhance job commitment. By shedding light on the role of labor relations atmosphere in shaping the attitudes and behaviors of technical workers, this study contributes to the existing literature on job commitment and organizational behavior. The implications of the findings are discussed, offering valuable insights for organizations aiming to foster a positive labor relations atmosphere and enhance job commitment among their technical workforce.
