The study examined job characteristics as predictors of organizational commitment among private sector workers in Anambra state of Nigeria. Two hundred and thirty-two (232) participants comprising 115 males and 117 females aged between 17 – 70 years with a mean age of 29.72 years and standard deviation of 6.82 participated in the study. Two instruments were used: Job Characteristics Scale (Hackman and Oldham, 1975), and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer and Allen, 1993).The hypothesis stated that job characteristics dimensions will predict organizational commitment among employees of private organizations, and it was partially accepted because only two dimensions of job characteristics namely dealing with others (β = .27, t = 3.80, p<.01) and task identity (β = .20, t = 2.26, p<.01) predicted organizational commitment while the remaining five dimensions; skill variety, task significance, autonomy, feedback from the job, and feedback from agents did not predict organizational commitment. The study strongly suggests that job characteristics are a predictor of employees’ commitment.
