Academics attitude toward the university plays an important role in determining its success. Organizational commitment (i.e. affective, continuance and normative commitment) variables identification in the perspective of education is what the study all about and it also consider the multidimensional conceptualization of organizational commitment which leads to the attainment of the goal of the organization.  Faculty members were considered respondents and the data were collected from responses on the self-administered three open-ended questions in a written form. Categories emerge from the result of content analysis. Three most frequently mentioned antecedents were considered in the components of organizational commitment. Antecedents of affective commitment included professional attachment and significance relationship with and support from co-workers and relationship with students. Continuance commitment developed when academics recognized personal discourse, compensation and welfare benefits and professional attachment and significance. Normative commitment of LSPU academics includes professional attachment and significance, compensation and welfare benefits and university support. It can be disclosed that variables assumed to be antecedents of one form of organizational commitment also emanate as antecedents of the other two components.
