Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine the antecedents and consequences of organizational commitment among academic staff in public universities of Ethiopia. In achieving this goal, variables of antecedents (demographic, job characteristics, role stressors and the working conditions) and consequences (organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intentions) of organizational commitment were identified and measured. A cross-sectional survey method was employed. Using a survey questionnaire, data of this study were collected from members of the academic staff in public universities of Ethiopia. The data analysis was contingent on the 344 usable responses obtained from the sampled respondents of this study. Both descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistical tools (independent samples T-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, MANOVA, Multiple regression and factor analyses) were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that on the one hand the independent variables (demographic, job characteristics, role stressors and working conditions) considered in this study had exhibited differential effects on organizational commitment components both in magnitude and directions of relationship. On the other hand, the commitment components showed a varying degree of explanatory power in the behavioral outcomes (organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention). The results of this study also indicated that the three component model of organizational commitment was found to fit the data well for its construct validity in the Ethiopian context. The theoretical contributions and practical implications of the results of this study that can help in augmenting the organizational commitments of the academic staff have also been discussed.
