Smeenk, Eisinga Teelken and
Dooewaard (2006) in their study on the
effects of HRM practices and antecedents on
organizational commitment among university
employees observed that in the separatist
faculty decentralization, compensation,
training/development, positional tenure and
career mobility have significant effects. Age,
organizational tenure, level of autonomy,
working hours, social involvement and
personal importance significantly affects the
employees’ organizational commitment in the
hegemonist faculty. Participation, social
interactions and job level are factors that are
important in both faculties. The findings
indicate that the set of factors affecting the
organizational commitment of employees
differs between the separatist and hegemonist
faculties.
