Members' commitment has a pivotal role in the effectiveness and continuity of cooperatives. Hence, using the doublehurdle and logit models, this study examines factors driving the commitment of members. The results show that education and social network have a positive and significant effect on the second and third level commitment of members. Moreover, positive perception about cooperatives increases the likelihood of member's participation in decision making. On the contrary, members with access to regular market and located closer to the market tend to have a lower second-level commitment than otherwise. Based on the results of the study, implications are forwarded.
