Description
This study investigates the relationship between quality of work-life and organizational commitment in the academic environment. Dimensions of quality work- life examined include career advancement, job security, pay benefit and employee participation in decision-making. The study adopted the survey method with data collected from a sample of two hundred and ninety-three (293) randomly selected respondents in a private-mission owned university in Nigeria. Results of data analysis indicate a negative relationship between career advancement, job security and organizational commitment. However, positive relationship was found to exist between employee participation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The study suggests the imperative for tertiary education institutional managers to prioritize specific dimensions of employee quality of work-life as an integral antecedent to the achievement of organizational objectives. This holds promise to attaining global standards
