They consisted of 170 men and 80 women. Their ages ranged from 25-45 years, with a mean age of 26 years. Three instruments were used for data collection in the study, namely, Team Psychological Safety Scale, Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and Spirit at Work Scale. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. Result indicated that team psychological safety did not significantly predict organizational commitment.
