Organizational Commitment and Employment characteristics among paid employees at Universities in the UK. Global measurement assessment of psychological contract breach was used based on how well the organization is perceived to fulfil promised obligations. The findings show there is a total relationship. There was a high degree of a breach among male and high earners. The study involved all paid workers working at universities in the UK. However, at the university, there are nonacademic staff members and academic staff members who form the core function of the university. However, the study failed to establish the level of the perceived breach between academic members of staff and non-academic staff.

Antonaki and Trivellas (2014) studied the evidence in the role of psychological contract breach as predictors of organizational commitment of employees at the banking industry in Greece. Using of banking 262employees. He used six controlled variables such as age, gender, educational level, tenure and location as predictors. He applied a content specific scale. The data were correlated. The finding shows that there is a negative relationship between psychological contract breach and organizational commitment.

Mathieu et al. (1990), conducted a Review and Meta-Analysis of the Antecedents, Correlates, and Consequences of Organizational Commitment. They found that age is more highly related to calculative commitment. Study correlations between sex and organizational commitment coded such that men represented by higher values. The full meta-analysis using all correlations indicated that women tend to be more committed than men, although the scale of this effect is small. Women are more committed to an organization because they had to overcome more barriers than men

to gain an academic qualification. Especially in the African context is very true.

Education exhibited a small negative correlation with commitment. Marital status correlations coded such that higher values referred to married individuals. It seems reasonable to predict that marital status is more related to calculative commitment because married employees are, in general, likely to have greater financial burdens. These results contribute to the extant literature by adopting composite measures and extend previous studies conclusions detecting the negative impact of specific PCB dimensions on work-related outcomes in the contemporary organizational context. Therefore after reviewing the empirical literature done at different organizational setup and context and different methodologies, still researches show that perceived psychological contract breach negatively affect employee organizational commitment.

Col and Gul (2005) conducted a study at Turkish public and private universities to control the relationship between personal features (age, education level, duration of service and pay) and different types of organizational commitment. The survey design study was applied among public and private academic and administrative staff. A regression and factor analysis were used to analyze the relationship among groups participated.

The outcomes revealed that the age and duration of service variables did not affect the organizational commitment of academicians and administrative personnel. They also found that the education level and academic standards of academicians had a negative correlation with an affective and normative commitment to the academy.

Salary increases were also found to increase affective commitment while decreasing the continuance commitment. Therefore, an increase in salary results in a rise in the affective and normative commitments (needed procedures of commitment for organizations) of both academicians and administrative staff. Employees with higher salaries display a greater affective commitment to their universities. Also, they consider it an ethical obligation to remain.

Lapalme and Simard (2011) did a study on the influence of psychological contract beach on temporary worker’s commitment and behaviours, in a multiple an agency

perspective. The specific content scale was applied to employees to determine, to what extent psychological contract beach did affect the employee’s commitment.

The data were regressed and the two-step procedure was used to analyze the data. The findings were that temporary workers are experiencing organizational contract breach and also a commitment to the agency is directly related to commitment to the client.

Meyer and Partyonova (2012) conducted a study on normative commitment in the workplace. They adopted a three-component conceptualization of organizational commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1997). They found that normative commitment is close to affective commitment which is a mindset of obligation. Normative commitment and affective commitment are strongly correlated. However normative commitment might best be considered as a commitment propensity rather than a component of commitment. Also, it is best if measured pre- or post-employment and not during employment.

Bozkurt and Yurt (2013) conducted a study on evaluation of the organizational commitment of academic workers working at Duzce University and tried to control organizational commitment types (normative, continuance and affective commitments) of the participants. Their study also investigated the impact of demographic features such as age, academic label, superiority and education on organizational commitment. Regression analysis was used. The results of the study showed that the academic staff generally had a high level of commitment to their organization, mostly due to the affective commitment aspect. The least prominent form of commitment amongst the participants was continuance, which represents the form of commitment based on financial concerns that married individuals tended to display more significant organizational commitment than lone persons.

Furthermore, the study also established that those newly employed at the institution (0–6 years) and those who had been employed for over 11 years had more solid normative commitment than persons who have been working between 6–11 years. Though, no significant difference remained familiar between these three groups concerning the other aspects of organizational commitment (for instance, the affective and continuance commitments).

Yucel & Bektas (2012) conducted a study on job satisfaction organizational commitment and demographic characteristics among teachers in Turkey. The intention was to investigate the relationship between teacher’s job satisfaction and organizational commitment and evaluates whether teachers’ age moderates the relationship between their job satisfactions. Secondary school teachers were targeted. They found that age difference has a moderating effect on the relationship between

job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Therefore only age was studied as a demographic factor leaving other factors out like marital status, education level, tenure and gender leaving alone other antecedents like psychological contract breach, engagement and organizational citizenship.

Tekin et al. (2014) conducted a survey designed study on organizational commitment, an empirical investigation of Turkish public universities. They applied a Meyer at al. (1993) commitment scale. They found that gender was the most demographic factor with high effective significant on academician’s commitment. Male observed to have high continuance commitment due to social and family pressure roles to sustain the families, hence found it difficult to leave the university. Financial needs caused them to stay. Age also was found to have attached to normative commitment, the more a person grows older, the more they concentrate on obligations as compared to young ones.
