Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that affect organisational commitment among working women and secondly, how these factors might be reshaped to judge organisational commitment of the working women. This study was conducted from 40 respondents using qualitative interviews with working women. For optimal verification of the result data, triangulation was enforced which was followed by testing Cohen's kappa to establish the pattern of concurrence between author and coder. The authors suggested that the approach of organisational commitment and its implications on the working women during this pandemic might be reconciled to enhance the level of commitment among them. The domains of this research can also be implemented among other genders in corporate, educational and healthcare sectors through adequate improvisation and it is expected that all the sectors will be profitable.

Keywords: organisational commitment; working women; psychological wellbeing and loneliness; family responsibilities; Cohen's kappa; India.
