Measurement Tool: In order to evaluate organizational commitment in this study, Allen and
Meyer's organizational commitment standard questionnaire (1990) containing 24 questions was
used (2). In this scale, three dimensions of organizational commitment (Emotional attachment,
continuous commitment and normative commitment) are analyzed where sum of these dimensions determines the overall score for organizational commitment. Questions 1 to 8
analyze affective commitment, questions 9 to 16 measure continuous commitment and questions
17 to 24 evaluate normative commitment among the interviewees. The questions are designed
based on 5-point Likert system starting with "I completely disagree" with score 1 to "I
completely agree" with score 5.
