Abstract

Organizational commitment is a psychological construction of responsibility that an employee has towards the mission and direction of an organization. This study attempted to assess the level of organizational commitment among the faculty members of the constituent colleges of the Royal University of Bhutan. The problem of many organizations today is not just to have more skillful and intellectual employees in each and every department, but also to find the right talented employees with positive attitude and commitment to their work. Employees’ involvement with the organization could be minimal if they do not feel the sense of engagement with the organization they work for. This observation has brought about the purpose and need for this study, which is to examine the level of organizational commitment. With a quantitative research design, this study adopted a cross-sectional online survey method of data collection with a sample size of 197 from all the constituent colleges of RUB. Descriptive statistics, means, independent samples t-test and correlation analysis were performed to generate the relevant results. The result reveals that overall commitment level of the faculty members are relatively poor and male faculty members tend to report slightly higher level of commitment compared to female faculty members.
