Abstract: The objective of this study is to find out the contribution of various cultural variables on the organizational commitment. Data were collected from the public sector units located in the eastern part of India. Analysis of data revealed strong relationship between culture of the organization and commitment of employees. The antecedents of culture were then examined in relation to the three commitment variables: affective, continuance and normative commitment. Antecedents of culture were significantly and positively correlated with dimensions of commitment. Subsequent multiple regression analysis confirmed that commitment is predicted by organizational culture. The equation consisting of all antecedents of organizational culture were found to be predictive, except milieu. The results confirmed that it is possible to identify the components of culture influencing the type of commitment among the employees in the organization.
