Organizational burnout and organization commitment are the two major elements to determine organizational behavior and employees' attitude to work. The purpose of this research was to study comparatively the Burnout and organizational commitment among police personnel of different hierarchies of Haryana police. The participants were 377 police personnel who included 90 Constables and 85 Head Constables and 202 Non Gazette Officers (NGOs) (which include ASI and SI). The participants were administered Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) after proper rapport. Results showed that Police Constables have scored significantly low on all the three dimensions of burnout and on affective commitment and normative commitment than Head Constables. Constables also have scored significantly low on two dimensions of burnout i.e. personal accomplishment and Emotional exhaustion than the NGOs. Head Constables have scored significantly high on all the three dimensions of burnout and on affective commitment (AC) than the NGOs.
