Instruments including organizational commitment having three subscales including continuance, affective and normative commitment (Myers & Allen, 1988) and organizational culture (Yang, 2003) were used. Principal component and multiple regression analyses were computed and results detected a significant positive impact of the above three aspects of the organizational culture on commitment of teaching faculty.
