In this article, a search for antecedents' latent variables of organisational commitment from organisational health, occupational role stress, and social support for Indian Nationalised Bank Managers was made. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to assess the fit of the model that identified autonomy, cohesiveness, goal focus, role overload, and responsibility for the person as statistically significant antecedents of organisational commitment. Our models provided a good fit. Direct and indirect effects of exogenous variables on endogenous variables estimated and resultant percent of variance accounted into organisational commitment reported.
