Social influence theory informed the study. The study used combination of explanatory and descriptive survey and targeted 8904 academic and non-academic staff from four public Kenyan Universities. Stratified sampling technique and Random sampling was employed to select a sample size of 351 respondents. This study used questionnaires to collect data relevant to the study. Cronbach alpha test was used to test reliability while factor analysis was used to test construct validity. Multiple regressions and Hierarchical Multiple Regression were used to test the hypotheses. Findings showed that proactive personality and networking ability have a significant effect on the affective commitment. In addition, organisational citizenship behaviour (altruism and courtesy) had significant moderating effect on the relationship between proactive personality, networking ability and affective commitment. There is need for organizations to focus on whether their employees are satisfied with their job because they are at a risk of losing dissatisfied employees that possess valuable set of skills |
