Abstract: 

Due to substantial cuts in state appropriations and rapidly diminishing budgets, public institutions of higher education in particular are struggling to realign resources and programs to fulfill their educational missions and maintain academic quality, while simultaneously responding to complex external legislative and accreditation mandates (Alvin and Edna 2012). Higher education institutions in Gujarat are divided into three categories namely Public Funded and Self-finance Colleges in Public Universities and self supporting Private Universities. In context of infrastructure development of the nation the human resources of public funded colleges have crucial role to play in fulfilling their educational mission and academic quality. There are many studies which have studied Organizational Commitment of human resources as predictor of outcome in form of Job Satisfaction and Job Performance in manufacturing sector. This study makes an attempt to explore the relationship of Organizational Commitment (OC), Job Satisfaction (JS) and Job Performance (JP), taking Organizational Commitment as predictor of Job Satisfaction and Job Performance amongst Public Funded College teachers of Surat city. Primary data is collected from sample of 150 college teachers by way of questionnaire using 5 point Likert scale. The statistical analysis is done using regression technique. The findings show that OC does affect JS and JP. It is further studied to know which dimensions of OC affect JS and JP.  This is a pilot study to make empirical survey at the regional / national level and that is the contribution of the study.
