Abstract
Private higher education is a rapidly expanding part of Ethiopi a's higher education
system in vestment in pri vate higher in stitutions by Ethiopian entreprene urs is co ntinued
to grow, but little is known abo ut their organization and management in genera l, or the
nature of work factors and employees commitment in particular. this study examines the
impact of in trinsic, extrinsic, and equity factors of work on employee's organizational
commitment in two selected pri vate colleges in Addis Ababa. the find ing shows that
instructors in private colleges wcre sa ti s fied with intrin sic [actors of work such as
opportunity for achievement. chall engi ng work. responsibility, and opportunity for
growth and development. on the other hand. instructors were generally di ssati s fied with
extrinsic content of work such as salary, fri nge benefits, incenti ves, job security,
opportunity for training, and post employment security. moreover, there was also
structural inequity whi ch is a perception of employees that they are required to do too
much work for slllall pay. consequentl y. employees were not committed to their
organization which implies thc avail abil ity of hi gh turnover and lower performance. to
build a viable work force for the success of the colleges and industrial peace, the colleges
should invest in the long term goal of their employees and learn to balance their interest
to earn a hi gher profit with those of their empl oyees.
