Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of job satisfaction on the organizational commitment of the academic staff and employees working at the Northern Border University in Saudi Arabia. Descriptive method was adopted and a questionnaire was used to collect data. A sample of 300 employees was chosen randomly. SPSS and AMOS software were used to analyze the data. Results showed that the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of job satisfaction have significant impact on two of the components of organizational commitment, which are, continuous commitment and normative commitment. However, they have no significant impact on the affective commitment. Recommendations were concluded in accordance with the results, such as the need for the university to maintain its good performance in creating intrinsic and extrinsic factors of satisfaction, and the need for promoting affective attachment to the University among its staff.
