摘要:The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between organizational socialization and organizational commitment in physical education departments `employees of the province. It was a correlation and field research. Our statistical population was all physical education departments `employees of the province comprising of 175 employees. We gathered information on demographic characteristics and administered socialization ques.onnaire (Taormina, 2004)and organizational commitment questionnaire (Allen and Meyer (1991)). For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics and multiple regressions to determine the relationship. Results showed that, there was a significant relationship between organizational socialization and organizational commitment (R 2= 0.42, F = 4.23, P <0.01). Also, amongst the dimensions of organizational socializa.on, training (B = 0.26, P <0.05) and future prospects (B = 0.32, P <0.05) were associated significantly with organiza.onal commitment. Generally, it should be acknowledged that higher organizational socialization leads to greater organizational commitment of employees
