This study investigates the job commitments of construction workers in Wayanad District, Kerala, exploring the factors influencing their work commitment and job satisfaction. The construction sector, a key contributor to India’s economy, faces challenges such as high turnover rates and labor shortages, particularly in rural areas. Despite the importance of the sector, limited research exists on the factors influencing job commitment in rural construction settings. This study adopts a quantitative approach to examine the impact of demographic factors, work environment, wage satisfaction, social support, and job satisfaction on job commitment levels. Data were collected from 120 construction workers through structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal that work conditions and wage satisfaction are the strongest predictors of job commitment. Workers who reported higher satisfaction with their work environment and wages showed greater emotional attachment to their jobs. Social support and job satisfaction also influence job commitment but to a lesser extent. The study suggests that improving safety measures, providing fair wages, and fostering supportive relationships within the workplace could enhance job commitment, reduce turnover, and increase productivity. These findings offer actionable recommendations for construction firms and policymakers aiming to improve worker welfare and retention in rural construction environments
