Organizational commitment has been one of the most popular work attitudes studied by practitioners and researchers.

The target population for this study consists of support staff of Iran’s national gas company. The instrument for gathering data was questionnaire. The results of research showed that psychological contract fulfillment (PCF) has a positive and significant effect on OC.
