Content validity and construct validity were assured with expert judgment and thereliability of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach’s alpha and Pearson correlation (1st and 2nd time). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.819, whilePearson correlation was 0.951 (p<0.001). The questionnaire was filled out by the research community. After the sample size was proven to be sufficient, exploratory and confirmatory factors were analyzed. The findings of the present research showed that after conducting the factor analysis of the component “commitment”, 3 factors were extracted. The factors were “organization development”, “management commitment” and “employment system”. The calculated fitness indices proved the desirability and appropriateness of the factors and their structural relations.
