descriptive research design was used. The study was carried on faculty members

questionnaires were distributed in Mysore. Multiple follow ups yielded 134 statistically
usable questionnaires. Correlation coefficient was used to confirming the research

commitment are significantly and positively related. In case of Mysore sample, when
correlation coefficients were calculated for teachers it was found that job satisfaction
was significantly and positively correlated with organizational commitment. In the case
of Iranian teachers it was also found that job satisfaction was significantly and positively
