Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the level of organizational commitment of academics working in Department of Physical Education and Sports and identify its relationship with the intention to cease of employment. Organizational Commitment Scale, consisting of 18 questions, developed by Meyer and Allen (1997), adapted to Turkish by Varol (2010) and Scale of Turnover Intentions developed by Rosin and Korabik (1995), adapted to Turkish by Tanrıöver (2005) have been carried out on 143 academics chosen via random sampling method in this relational screening model research.  The result of the research has shown that sub-dimension of Emotional Commitment of academics’ constitutes the core element and intention to leave is low.  Variables of gender and marital status are found to have no effect on the relationship between organizational commitment and intention to leave. On the other hand, academics with an administrative role display a meaningful difference. In regards to the correlation results within the scales, there is a negative and mid-level relationship between emotional commitment level and intention to leave, and a negative and low-level relationship between the level of normative commitment and case of employment.
