7.1 Difference Between Academicians Working for State and Foundation Universities in
Terms of Affective, Normative and Continuance Commitment
Table 1 gives a comparative summary of affective, normative and continuance commitment of
the academicians working for state and foundation universities. A review of this table will
show that level of affective commitment (t value = 0.834 p= 0.405 > 0.05) and of continuance
commitment (t value = 1.898 p= 0.058 > 0.05) of the academicians working for foundation
universities is lower than of the academicians working for state universities, yet this
difference is not significant. Similarly, it has been found out that normative commitment of
the academicians working for foundation universities is stronger than of the academicians
working for state universities, yet this difference is not significant (t value = -0.053 p= 0.957
> 0.05). Based on these findings, Hypothesis 1 and Hypothesis 2 within the framework of this
study are not verified.
