Abstract

Organizational Commitment is defined as the degree to which an employee experiences a bond with their organization. This concept has an important place in the study or organizational behavior. The purpose of this research was to identify the level of organizational commitment in employees of a public university and the relation between three different types of organizational commitment. This study is correlationalexploratory with a nonexperimental research design. To collect data, Meyer & Allen’s Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) was used to measure organizational commitment. Participants in the research included 70 employees who worked in the administrative field at a public university. The main results allow us to affirm that the majority of employees have a normal level of commitment to organization. A correlation analysis between the factors of organizational commitment revealed that a significant relationship exists between affective commitment–normative commitment and affective commitment–continuance commitment but not between normative commitment-continuance commitment.
