Abstract

Commitment is defined in multi-dimensions and has three components such as affective commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment. Low employee commitment leads to employee absenteeism and turnover which in turn leads to crisis of the public service provision. The main aim of this study is to assess factors affecting employee commitment in Burayu and Holata Town Administration Health Centers, 2020. The study employed institutional based cross-sectional quantitative study design. Multiple linear regressions were applied for data analysis. The Census method was applied for the sample selection. The data was entered in to SPSS version 20.0 for statistical analysis. The Commitment score (mean =3.5220, Standard deviation = .4879), Leadership score (mean=3.6495, Standard deviation =.63461), Compensation score (mean=2.2674, Standard deviation =1.12478), Training and Development score (mean=3.1319, Standard deviation = .88718) and Personal Protective Equipment for Covid-19 score (mean=2.8631, Standard deviation =.92409). Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient analysis shows that the predictors score and outcome variable were positively correlated and significant at P<.05 except Training and Development score (.197). It is concluded that among the candidate socio-demography factors only marital status of the respondents significantly affects the commitment while others have no predictive effect on the commitment. There was positive relationship between and significant effect of predictors (leadership mean score, Compensation mean score and Personal Protective Equipment for Covid-19 mean score). However, training and development mean score has no effect on the outcome variable mean score. It is recommended that the health offices managers and health centers directors should pay attention to improve workers affection towards the health centers; and the next researchers should do additional investigation on the factors affecting the commitment of health workers in offices and hospital level
