employee. Since the biggest challenge that the current managers are facing is to unify the goals
of the organization with the employees’ goals, and this need could not be met, unless they
increase the organizational commitment among the employees. The presence of reliable
people in the organization is regarded as an excellent source of energy and power that results
in the movement towards the aim and the ideals of the organization. The employees’
commitments not only motivate them in carrying out their duties and try hard to accomplish
that, but also it builds among them an emotional dependence with the purposes and the values
of the organization. This research is conducted to study the commitment and organizational
attachment among the employees of the General Department of Educational System of North
