Data were collected from 191 teachers of five Private Sector Universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Peshawar, Sarhad University, Peshawar, Iqra National University, Peshawar , City University, Peshawar, Abasyn University and Qurtuba University, Peshawar through EMIN scale (Wong & Law, 2002), JP scale (Goodman & Svyantek, 1999) and OC scale (Meyer and Allen's, 1991). The results revealed that EMIN has a significant relationship with OC and JP. Furthermore, Confirmatory analysis's findings showed that OC had a partial role in mediating the connection between EMIN and JP.
