The rationale of this paper is to study association between Organizational commitment, and
performance of Health Centres IV workers in greater Mbarara District, South Western
Uganda. The elements of organizational commitment include; affective, continuance and
normative. This study used prevalence study designs, explanatory and correlational
methods, and it uses health centres IV workers data that were selected in the means of
administering a questionnaire survey from a sample of 200 health workers from 11 health
centres from the region. Structural equation modelling was used to test hypotheses.
Findings recommended that affective and continuance organizational commitments, were
significantly associated with health workers performances (r=.384, p=.000).Normative
organizational commitment, elements do not significantly envisage health workers
performance. Therefore, health centres IV should have suitable practices of ensuring
attachment of health workers to their health facilities, so as to accomplish activities that
enhance on their task/job performance.
