types of business activities including banking industry. In this paper, we present an empirical
investigation to study the relationship between social entrepreneurship and organizational
commitment. The proposed study of this paper adapts a standard questionnaire developed by
Meyer and Allen [Meyer, J. P., & Allen, N. J. (1991). A three-component conceptualization of
organizational commitment. Human resource management review, 1(1), 61-89]. Cronbach
alpha has been calculated for affective commitment, employee engagement and normative
commitment as 0.77, 0.79 and 0.61, respectively. The results of survey indicate that affective
commitment, employee engagement and normative commitment have positively influenced
organizational commitment, significantly. In addition, Freedman test has indicated that
normative commitment is number one priority with mean rank of 2.85 followed by affective
commitment with mean rank of 2.47 and employee engagement with the mean rank of 2.26.
