Non-commitment to work is important social problem in Iran. In this paper, we have investigated the relationship between occupational capital and work commitment. The methodology is descriptive and correlational. This article examines the relationship with employees in eight governmental organizations in Tehran, 78 males and 48 females were interviewed. To measure the validity and reliability of the index, internal correlation, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and KMO have been used; Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.80 of the work capital and 0.70 of the job commitment.The average employee's work commitment in the surveyed organizations is 3.42 of 6 and the average of occupational capital is 3.39 of 6. The correlation between work commitment and occupational capital(r = 0.41), economic capital(r = 0.17), political capital(r = 0.41), social capital(r = 0.38) and cultural capital is(r = 0.29). The variables in the study explained 66% of the variance of the work commitment.When correlation between occupational capital and work commitment was examined in two groups with high and low alienation of work and capital distribution, was found this correlation to be stronger in organizations with more organizational justice. And between those who have had less alienation of work are stronger than others.
