The influence of occupational rank on organizational commitment of faculty members

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the impact of rank on organizational commitment and explores the individual relationships between affective, normative and continuance commitment. The study comprised a sample of 505 academic staff from 28 privately-owned technical institutes in Haryana state, India. Three way ANOVA results reveal that overall organizational commitment increases progressively with rank. Results further show that rank does not have a positive influence on affective, continuance and normative commitment. Female faculty found more committed than their male counterparts. The findings have been thoroughly discussed in terms of the influential role of rank on organizational commitments for faculty members.
