This study examined the influence of time management practices and workplace bullying on organizational commitment amongst employees at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. A convenience sample of 195 participants (93 women and 102 men) was recruited. Data collection utilized questionnaires that measured time management, workplace bullying, and organizational commitment. Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression analyses were conducted using SPSS software version 26. Analysis revealed significant positive correlations between organizational commitment and short-range planning skills and total time management scores. Conversely, negative correlations emerged between organizational commitment and victimization experiences, instances of fighting, and overall workplace bullying. Stepwise multiple regressions indicated that workplace bullying scores entered the model first, explaining 12.4% of the variance in organizational commitment. Short-range planning scores entered the second step, explaining an additional 2.3% of the variance. Interestingly, however, both bullying and short-range planning emerged as negative predictors of organizational commitment. These findings suggest that fostering short-range planning skills and addressing workplace bullying could be beneficial in enhancing employee organizational commitment. Future research could investigate potential interventions to improve time management and mitigate bullying behaviors within similar organizational contexts.
