 Günümüzde işletmelerin karşı karşıya olduğu en önemli sorunlardan biri sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı sağlayacak nitelikli çalışanlarını elde tutabilmek ve bu çalışanların işlerini maksimum enerji ve istekle yapmalarını sağlayabilmektir. Örgütsel bağlılık ile işe bağlılık bu noktada bir arada ele alınması gereken kavramlar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın ilk amacını akademisyenlerin örgütsel bağlılık, işe bağlılık ve işkoliklik seviyeleri arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koymak oluşturmaktadır. Örgütsel bağlılık, işe bağlılık ve işkoliklik kavramları çalışma şartlarına göre şekillenmektedir. Özellikle özlük hakları, çalışma şartları, iş yükü, iş güvencesi gibi açılardan farklılık gösteren grupların örgütsel bağlılık, işe bağlılık ve işkoliklik seviyelerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının tespiti önemlidir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın ikinci amacı akademisyenlerin örgütsel bağlılık, işe bağlılık ve işkoliklik seviyelerinin çalıştıkları üniversitenin türüne göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediğini tespit etmektir. Araştırmada 1436 akademisyene anket uygulanması yolu ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde Pearson korelasyon, bağımsız örneklem t, geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri uygulanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda akademisyenlerin örgütsel bağlılık ile işe bağlılık seviyeleri arasında örgütsel bağlılık seviyeleri ile işkoliklik seviyeleri arasında işkoliklik seviyeleri ile işe bağlılık seviyeleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca akademisyenlerin işe bağlılık seviyeleri çalıştıkları kurumun türüne göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterirken; örgütsel bağlılık ve işkoliklik seviyeleri açısından ise çalışılan kurumun türüne göre anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir.
