Abstract

Organizational Commitment is considered as one of the most important factors that emotionally attach employees into organization. Such commitment is needed to reach organizational goals. This study aims at exploring and analyzing the Organizational Commitment among administrative staff at private higher education in Jakarta, one of the biggest cities in Indonesia, that consists of thousands of higher education Institutions. The mothod used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data was gathered using questionnaire that consist statements represent three types of Organizational Commitment, which are affective, continuance and normative. The results of this research reveal several facts about the organizational commitment of administrative employees. The first fact shows that the organizational commitment of employees who have worked at private higher education for a long time is higher compared to employees who have worked for less. This shows that emotional bonding between employees and the organization are formed over time. This fact is also supported by data that employees who have a longer work period have stronger emotional bonding than employees who have a shorter work period. However, another fact has been revealed is that the work period doesn’t prevent employees to move to other organizations that provide better opportunities and advantages for them.
