The transformation programs have brought in new changes to employment sector that has lead to drastic changes in public and private sector administration. Despite all the efforts introduced; the landscape of trade union movement remains unchanged in certain aspects. Hence; this study explored factors that may predict members commitment toward their unions. A survey questionnaire was employed and data was collected from a random sample of 395 members. Based on regression analysis; the results generally showed strong relationship between the factors and union commitment dimensions which resulted in partial acceptance of the hypotheses formulated. Factors like general union beliefs; union satisfaction; and union leadership significantly influenced the value union commitment dimension; while only union instrumentality influenced instrumental union commitment dimension. From the research findings; some implications are discussed. Limitation and suggestions for future research were also highlighted.
