Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been validated for content accuracy and reliability. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were used, along with inferential statistics, such as the Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicated that the overall level of employee organizational commitment was moderate. Comparisons of personal factors, such as gender, age, education level, job function, employee type, and average monthly income, revealed no significant differences in organizational commitment. The motivational factors, assessed at a high level, showed that job success, respect or acceptance, job characteristics, responsibility, and career advancement significantly influenced job success at a .05 significance level. Similarly, work-related factors, including compensation and benefits, work environment, relationships with supervisors and colleagues, work experience, training, job security, and participation in management, significantly influenced job success at a .05 significance level.
