Abstract:

In recent years, research on organizational committment has increased. However, few of them have empirically addressed the issue in educational context. Thus, the purpose of this paper is expected to fulfil such gap in the literature by examining the impact of organizational factors on teacher’s commitment. A survey of 161 teaching staff from a public university in Hanoi was conducted in 2016. Multiple regression techniques were used to analyse the data. The research findings indicated that job characteristics, workplace friendship and financial rewards significantly associates with overall organizational commitment and affective commitment of teaching staff in the university. Despite of that, job characteristics have the strongest impact on continuance commitment, and financial rewards is the strongest predictor of the normative commitment.
