The purpose of this study has been to examine what dimensions of Quality-of-work-life in
university, can influence on employees organizational commitment and what is the role of
Quality-of-work-life changes in this case.
Results about organizational commitment in employees of educational departments in Mashhad
with M=85.45 and SD=12.44 shows a high rate of commitment in this society. in this survey 7.6
percent of respondents are in low level of commitment and only 6.5 percent have a very high
commitment level. In general this society has a good level of organizational commitment. As
mentioned in Cuskelly, Graham & Boag Alistair's research organizational commitment is an
important factor in preventing personnel's absence. Also feldmann and Arnold in a survey about
the relation between work values and organizational commitment in a multi national corporation
in Singapore's electronic industry showed that variables such as job involvement and effort to
achieve power had a greater positive correlation with organizational commitment rather than
financial earnings of a job. According to this research's results 93.5 percent of this society with a
mean value of 85.45 had a high and average organizational commitment and 91.3 of them with a
mean value of 44.75 were in average and low level of work life level. We conclude that low and
average level of work life quality results in average and high organizational commitment in this
society. This survey shows that to achieve to a high level of organizational commitment policy
makers should have organized programs and plans. we don’t have to forget that there is a need to
improve the quality of work life in this employees to gain a higher commitment. The results
show that there is a negative and significant relationship between educational level and
organizational commitment ,and they vary in a reverse way. To solve this problem policy makers
should use some motivations to motivate employees with higher educational level to achieve to a
high organizational commitment.
