foreign academic staff in a selected private Universities in Kampala Metropolitan Area, Uganda. A total of 208 foreign
academic staff completed a questionnaire survey. The findings of the study revealed that EC was moderate as well and
off-the-job training. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that off-the-job training had a positive and
significant influence on EC Therefore, it concluded that off-the-job training practices can significantly influence
commitment of foreign academic staff in private universities, Uganda. Thus, an improvement in these practices of an
organization will likely increase commitment among the foreign academic staff. It was thus recommended that
