There are 300 full time employees and the study chooses a sample of 169 people. The proposed study adopts three well-known questionnaires for measuring job burnout, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment and Cronbach alphas are 0.766, 0.877 and 0.802, respectively. The study chooses regression analysis and other statistical observation to examine different hypotheses and the results indicate that there were some meaningful relationships among different components of the survey. In other words, when there was an increase on job burnout, we could expect less organizational commitment and while there was an increase on emotional intelligence, we may expect higher level of organizational commitment. © 2013 Growing Science Ltd.
