Organizational commitment, a predictor of behaviors of members in an organization has a significant implication for effective management of the organization. Although there have been a large number of studies concerning organizational commitment in organizations in general, there were few studies on the topic in a hospital setting. The organization of hospitals is much more complex than other organizations because of its multitudinous professional groups, and usually behaves differently from other firms. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between organizational determinants and organizational commitment in hospital settings. A model of organizational commitment was tested with empirical data collected using a questionnaire. Job autonomy, job clearness, role consistency, workload appropriateness, job security, resource adequacy, work unit control, promotional chances, and pay equity among study variables were found to have a statistically significant positive relationship with organizational commitment. The analysis indicated a significantly higher organizational commitment among Administrative staff than the commitment of other professional groups. The variables which had significant differences among professional groups were workload appropriateness. job autonomy, resource adequacy, work unit control. and pay equity. These study findings confirmed that organizational commitment related behaviors of three professional groups in hospitals were similar to the behaviors of employees in other organizations.
