The present article identifies the best-fit need satisfaction predictors of multidimensional organizational commitment. Satisfaction of 'social need' appears to be helpful only in predicting affective, normative and overall organizational commitment, at least among the needs (variables) included in the study. None of the needs of the need satisfaction passed on into the criteria to enter in the model with continuance commitment. Mahalanobis distance was estimated for the cases that have unusual values for the predictor variables, which can have a substantial impact on the results of analysis. Regression models were also studied in reference to their status/designation in the organization and interesting models come to light. The importance of every need (R2 change) was determined when each one is used alone to predict multidimensional organizational commitment. Goodness of the model was determined to know, how well the model fits the data. Implications of the study are discussed at length.
