Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, MannWhitney U test, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings disclosed a moderate to moderately high level of workplace spirituality, learning organization practices and all the three forms of organizational commitment. The medical doctors in private sector hospitals exhibited a relatively higher level of these practices as compared to medical doctors working in public sector hospitals. The results of correlation and multiple regression analysis revealed that the workplace spirituality and learning organization practices would lead to better affective and normative commitment among medical doctors.
