Validity of the questionnaires was verified by the experts and their reliability also calculated in a pilot study (&alpha=0.928 and &alpha=0.83 respectively for EFQM and Allen, Meyer & Smith's OC questionnaires). 437 questionnaires distributed among the Physical Education general offices staff (ten provinces selected by classified random method) 337 questionnaires included in statistical analysis. A positive significant relationship was observed between organizational excellence and commitment (r= 0.546, p= 0.001). A positive relationship was observed between organizational excellence and each of the organizational commitment sub-scales (affective, continuance and normative) (p<0.01). Affective commitment had strongest correlation (r=0.551, p=0.001) and the continuance commitment had the weakest (r=0.309, p=0.001).
