A total number of 100 workers were accidentally sampled in the study.These participantswere administered with Occupational commitment scale and attitude to work scale together with demographic information. Six hypotheses were testedin the study using independent samples t-test, two were confirmed and the other two were tested with One-Way ANOVA and one was confirmed.The result of the tested hypotheses showed that gender has significant influence on organizational
commitment(t=3.29.’df = 98; p<.05). Gender has no significant influence on attitude to work
(t=1.84;df=98;p>.05).work environment has significant influence on organizational commitment(F(2,97)=3.21; p<.05). Work environment has no significant influence on attitude to work (F(2,97)=0.55; p >.05). Age has no significant influence on organizational commitment (t=0.90;df =78;p>.05). Age has no significant influence on attitude to work (t=-1.78; df=78;p>.05). Length of service has significant influence on organizational commitment (t=-0.50;df=88;p>.05).
Length of service has no significant influence on attitude to work (t = 0.11;df=88;p>05).Based
on findings,it is concluded that demographic factors are important in understanding organizational commitment and attitude to work of academic workers. Moreover, gender differs
