All analysis circles around the idea of identifying, analyzing and calculating the role of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on the ITL of teachers/academicians in Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. All these variables have been extracted from the relevant available literature and then transformed into a theoretical framework or research model. A sample of 100 academician`s was selected by using random method. Data were collected by using questionnaire which was analyzed by using simple correlation analysis and regression analysis. The empirical section of the study was anchored by the research model derived from the literature. The role of job satisfaction in the prediction process is insignificant while organizational commitment is fully significant in predicting the change in the criterion variable.
