The primary purpose of the present empirical investigation is to examine the organizational commitment scores of the middle level and lower level executives in private and public sector organizations. The present study followed a 2X2 factorial research design. Factor 1 refers to type of sectors (Private versus public) and Factor 2 refers to the level of executives (Middle level executives versus lower level executives). The sample consists of 240 executives from both private and public sector organizations. From the 240 participants, 120 executives were from private sectors and 120 executives were from public sectors. In each group of 120 executives, 60 were middle level executives and 60 were lower level executives. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the executives. The participants of all the four groups were compared with respect to organizational commitment scores. The result indicated that private sector executives showed higher organizational commitment compared to public sector executives. The result also revealed that middle level executives showed more commitment towards the organization than the lower level executives.Keywords
