Due to the time and cost constraints, the researcher adopted the sampling method to collect the necessary data for the study. The appropriate statistical methods were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses.The research discovered a number of results, the most important of which is the existence of (1) that there is a positive effect between QWL and OI, (2) the existence of a positive impact between the dimensions of QWL and OA, (3) there is a positive effect between the dimensions of OI OA, (4) there is a positive effect of OI as a mediating variable in explaining the effect of QWL on OA at Menoufia University hospitals; that is, OI plays the mediating role in the relationship between QWL and OA. There is an impact on QWL on OA through OI at Menoufia University Hospitals.The study referred to a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: (1) re -studying and structuring of the system of wages in the hospital in a way that allows them to get the appropriate returns for their efforts, (2) providing a safe and healthy working environment at the University hospital, (3) improving QWL in terms of providing promotional opportunities, objectively, in accordance with specific standards and controls, (4) activating the training programs so that they are not limited to specific categories, (5) involving the employees in the decision making process, in view of the nature and sensitivity of the hospital work, which relates to the lives of citizens and requires a large amount of freedom to make decisions.

“…Whereas the second focus of this research is on the sample chosen which is lecturers, while most studies focusing on staff in education sectors in general and in other industries. Upon the first focus, various research on organizational commitment can be seen from the conclusion from Farid [14] that did research on how organizational commitment matters in public universities in Malaysia, yet not on the professional commitment to the task of research itself. Tikare [15] also did research on Organizational Commitment in four different industries in India.…”

This research aims to proofs the existence of antecedents in the intention to conduct research leading to professional commitment. The gap in the current practice is the need to increase Indonesia's academic rank in the world due to a decrease in various indicators. As for previous studies, limited information on professional commitment by researchers is found especially in Indonesia. Researchers propose personal and external related variables; personal variables include Attitude toward Behaviors, and Perceived Behavioral Control; whereas external related variables include Subjective Norm, Institutional Support and Research Related Policy. Study to 235 academicians in Indonesia produce a conclusion that perceived behavioral control is the only variable in TPB that is the antecedent toward the intention. Meanwhile, external related variables fail to show its significance, with the exception of Research Related Policy, showing the need in finding other extraneous variables in the future. Intention to do research can impact researcher's professional commitment.
