This study aims to determine the impact of organizational commitment on turnover intention among faculty members of technical education institutes of India. Organizational Commitment is considered as the independent variable and Turnover Intention is considered as the dependent variable. A survey-based exploratory and causal research design was used. A 15 items instrument was generated comprising of 4 items for each of the three independent variables i.e. Affective, Continuance and Normative Commitment and three items for dependent variable i.e. turnover intention. The data was collected from faculty members of selected technical educational institutes of India through structured questionnaires. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was used to determine the validity and Cronbach's coefficient alpha to determine the reliability of the instrument. Regression analysis was used to determine the causal relationship between both the independent anddependent variables. The study also aims to suggest strategies to minimize the faculty turnoverto the management of technical education institutes of India.
