Issues such as job stress and job dissatisfaction can have an adverse effect on organizational commitment of health personnel. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of job stress and job satisfaction with organizational commitment in environmental and occupational health professionals working in Alborz and Ahvaz Jundishapur Universities of Medical Sciences. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was performed on 238 occupational health and environmental health staff. Data were collected using Osipow Job Stress Scale, Ellen Meyer's Organizational Commitment, and Susan Job Satisfaction questionnaires.  In this study, t-test, two way ANOVA and linear regression analysis were used to determine the factors affecting organizational commitment. Data were analyzed through SPSS statistical software version 22. Results: The majority of the studied subjects were women (75.5% of environmental health staff and 81.5% of professional occupation staff).  Among the dimensions of organizational commitment, continuous commitment obtained the highest score among employees of Environmental Health (30.19 ± 6.15) and Occupational Health (27.55 ±7.49). Job satisfaction had a strong significant relationship with the three dimensions of organizational commitment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Through teaching stress management skills and increasing job satisfaction in these occupational groups, organizational commitment could be improved.   Key­words: Job Stress, Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction, Environmental Health, Occupational Health, Staff   Citation:  Torabipour A, Emamyanfard SM, Veysi Sheykhrobat M, Jafarinia M.
