Perceived Co-Worker Support, Perceived Supervisor Support, Perceived Organizational Support, Affective Commitment, Continues Commitment, Academic PerformanceAbstract
Perceived support and commitment feelings are vital factors for improved performance. In this respect, the current study aims to investigate the key role of perceived co-worker support (PCS), perceived supervisor support (PSS), and perceived organizational support (POS) on lecturer’s affective commitment (AC) and continuous commitment (CC), and in turn on their academic performance. To do this, a survey questionnaire was developed and distributed amongst various university faculties in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In total, 204 data points were collected. Based on the results, it has been observed that perceived co-worker support and perceived organizational support have significant impact on continuous commitment. Additionally, perceived co-worker support and perceived supervisor support were shown to have significant positive impact on university faculties’ performance.
