“…The results also reflected that the faculty members had a high level of affective commitment and were emotionally attached to the university and that the university had a great deal of personal meaning for faculty; they did feel "obliged or trapped". This finding is consistent with the previous research findings [1,30,33].…”

“…The results proved contradictory. On one hand, some studies have found that academic rank had a positive impact on faculty commitment in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) universities [1,21,27,28,36]. On the other hand, others have found that academic rank was negatively associated with organizational commitment [18,20,33,38].…”

The present study utilizes the Meyer and Allen three-component model of organizational commitment to measure commitment among faculty members in Saudi Arabia. The study further investigates the relationship between the faculty's demographic variables (gender, academic rank, college cluster, years of experience, and nationality) and their organizational commitment. A survey research design was used to measure 185 faculty members' commitment to their organizations. This study's results demonstrate high levels of effective organizational commitment among respondents. Academic rank was found to be significantly related to organizational commitment among other demographic variables. The implications of the study could be used to improve organizational commitment among faculty members in Saudi Arabia.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of gender as a potential determinant of involvement in higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia. This study focuses on four specific categories of involvement: power, rewards, information, and knowledge. It utilized Edward Lawler's model of high involvement work processes to measure the involvement among female faculty in the University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Edward Lawler's model is one of the first and widely cited models on employee involvement. This study further investigates the relation between the faculty's demographic variables (academic rank, college cluster, years of experience, and nationality) and their involvement. A survey research design was utilized to better address the purpose of this study. The sample consisted of 135 female faculty members. The findings show a moderate level of involvement among the respondents. Of the individual practices of involvement, power was the most wide-spread practice, with a mean rating of 3.72 and a standard deviation of .786, based on the five-point scale. Regarding the demographic variables, only college cluster was found to be significantly related to females' involvement. The implications of this study could be used to further support involvement policies and practices among female faculty members in Saudi Arabia.

Hospitals in today’s healthcare system are under pressure to boost their competitiveness. A number of studies have shown the disconnect between corporate culture and the enhancement of healthcare professionals’ performance. While it is well accepted that an organization’s culture has a substantial impact on the performance of its health care professionals in clinical practice, the mechanisms by which culture might enhance health care professionals’ performance remain unclear. This paper draws on 22 literature reviews and database searches using keyword syntax from Sciencedirect, Pubmed, Google Schoolar, and other relevant publications published between 2011 and 2021. Research in the field demonstrates that a company’s culture may influence the efficiency and effectiveness of its healthcare employees. This overarching issue was dissected into the following themes: nurse performance mediated by discipline; the existence of cultural groups; a central focus on health care professional management; and individual, organizational, and psychological aspects. The optimal performance of nurses and the outcomes of patient care are contingent on management in the health care business knowing the cultural factors that exist in the workplace.
