The results showed that career development had a positive and significant effect on work motivation with a coefficient of 0.452 and p-value 0.000. Employee recognition also has a positive and significant effect on work motivation with a coefficient of 0.481 and p-value 0.000. Career development has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment of 0.214, while employee recognition has an effect of 0.253. Work motivation has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment with a coefficient of 0.492. In addition, work motivation is proven to mediate the effect of career development on organizational commitment of 0.222 and mediate the effect of employee recognition on organizational commitment of 0.237.
