Over the last two decades, organizational culture has become a buzzword in today’s business life. The concept reflects the main norms, customs, traditions and tactics that both senior and junior employees share. Hence, it has become a main determinant for organizational current objectives and future orientation. As organizational commitment determines all employees-employer ties, this concept has attracted much attention in both academic and practical management arenas. Accordingly, and by using quantitative analysis, this study explores the relationship between organizational culture traits and organizational commitment approaches in the context of public primary schools in Menoufia, Egypt. Correlation and regression results show a strong positive association between the culture traits and approaches of organizational commitment.
