This article presents a descriptive, non-experimental and transversal research under a quantitative approach, with the objective of identifying the level of Organizational Commitment (CO) that the education workers of a Higher Education Institution (IES) in the southeast of Mexico have, as well as the level of CO that register in each of its dimensions to detect those that require to be attended by the educational authorities. The data collection was carried out through a survey in which 140 employees participated, using the instrument proposed by Meyer, Allen, & Smith (1993), which generally presented a very good level of internal consistency (α = 0.83), determined through the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, using the quartile analysis. The results show that workers have a level of CO that in general terms is low with a medium tendency, with the affective commitment being the one that is most present in the population. However, the normative commitment and the continuity commitment obtained the lowest levels, which requires strengthening through more stimulating remuneration and promotion systems for higher level education workers.
