| Organizational commitment serves as a vital psychological link between university faculty members and their institutions. It not only ensures the stability of the academic workforce but also plays a crucial role in talent cultivation and research innovation. Drawing on empirical surveys of 1466 faculty members from 26 "Double First-Class" universities, this study employs a structural equation model to explore the specific mechanisms through which organizational support influences faculty members' organizational commitment in the context of employment reforms. The findings indicate that, while university faculty members exhibit a high level of identification and engagement with their organizations, their loyalty remains at a moderately low level. Against the backdrop of employment reforms, organizational support is found to significantly enhance faculty members' organizational commitment. Moreover, psychological empowerment acts as a positive mediator in the relationship between organizational support and faculty members' organizational commitment. To bolster faculty members' organizational commitment, it is imperative to formulate and refine organizational support policies, elevate the level of organizational support, and foster an organizational environment that provides comprehensive backing. Additionally, enhancing faculty members' psychological empowerment by offering them more opportunities to engage in challenging work, demonstrate their individual capabilities, make independent decisions, and increase their influence is essential. |
