This study assesses the psychometric properties of Allen and Meyer's three-component model of organizational commitment focusing on physicians in Pakistan and explores the determinants of each form of commitment. The cross-sectional study implemented a self-reported questionnaire at a hospital in Pakistan. Data were collected from 478 permanently employed physicians. This study offers evidence for the generalizability of this model to the health sector, particularly for physicians. Age, experience, and qualification explained the higher commitment levels. This study suggests adjustments to the commitment scale for physicians. Hospital administrations should formulate effective strategies at individual levels to enhance commitment.
