“…However, our results are in line with the study of Qasim (2011), suggesting that the original driving behaviors affect as an intermediate variable the strength of the positive relationship between the quality of the career life workers and their sense of organizational commitment. The results corroborate the findings of Tahir, Tina and Daud (2014), showing a positive association between transformational leadership and academic commitment. Our results also agree with the results of Somali and Mitwalli (2018), indicating a positive relationship between transformational leadership and empowerment and creativity of administrative staff.…”

The study seeks to identify the degree of practicing the transformational leadership at Shaqra University from the view of its employees, the degree of organizational commitment among the employees, and also the relationship between practicing transformational leadership and organizational commitment among the employees to detect the differences in both of transformational leadership and organizational commitment among the employees relative to sex, educational qualification or experience. A stratified random sample (N = 231) of employees of Shaqra University was interviewed. The empirical evidence shows that the degree of practicing the transformational leadership from the view of its employees as well as the degree of organizational commitment among the employees is found to be high. The evidence also indicates that there is a statistically significant relationship between practicing transformational leadership and organizational commitment among the employees. However, no statistically significant differences in both of transformational leadership and organizational commitment among the employees were detected. This result is due to the heterogeneous related to socio-demographic characteristics like sex, educational qualification, or experience years. In light of the foregoing outcomes, some recommendations are formulated.

“…A number of studies conducted in academia show that the organizational commitment of teaching staff has similar antecedents to that of employees in business (organizational justice, job insecurity, trust in the university's management, perceived organizational support, perceived organizational prestige) (Adkins, Werbel, & Farh, 2001;Ambrose & Cropanzano, 2003;Fuller, Hester, Barnett, & Relyea, 2006;Li, 2014). Tahir, Abdullah, Ali, and Daud (2014) found heads of departments' transformational leadership behaviours have an impact on the organisational commitment of academic staff. However, teaching staff have specific antecedents of organizational commitment.…”

Faculty are the main asset of a university and determine its success. The attitudes of faculty toward their institution play an especially important role in the academic profession. This study examines the specific antecedents of affective, normative and continuance commitment of faculty to their university. This study is an online survey of 317 faculty of Russian higher education institutions. The results of the regression analysis showed that being an undergraduate inbred (ie, working at the university from which one graduated) predicted affective and normative commitment toward the university, while having a post at another higher education institution predicted only affective commitment. Also, faculty who work at several universities have lower levels of emotional attachment to the primary university.
