In this context, the definitions of organizational commitment, personality traits and burnout are primarily given. Then, the relationships between these variables are explained with the help of theoretical and empirical studies. 90 academicians from a state university in Central Anatolia participated voluntarily in this study.

According to the findings of this study, academicians’ emotional commitment level is the highest and continuance commitment level is the lowest.
