The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship of organizational environment
with the three dimensions of organizational commitment (affective, continuance and
normative organizational commitment) among faculty members of public/private medical
colleges in Pakistan. A random sample (N=71) is comprised of full time faculty members
of one public sector and two private sector medical colleges operating in Peshawar
(Pakistan). Following Allen and Meyer’s (1990) approach to OC, data was gathered
through questionnaire as the survey instruments. Pearson correlation was computed to
analyze the relationships of organizational environment and the sub scales of
organizational commitment. The results of this study show statistically positive
relationship between organizational environment and all the three dimensions of
organizational commitment, and that the majority of faculty members are experiencing
greater organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative) in the
presence of a healthy and positive organizational environment. These findings have
implications for recruitment of new faculty members and retention of old ones.
Therefore, this study provides empirical data to support theoretical models that focus on
organizational environment as antecedents to organizational commitment. Efforts should
be made by college deans/principals and faculty members in developing a progressive
organizational culture to enhance the organizational commitment of its members.
