The study examined the impact of clan culture on non-teaching staff commitment in universities in Ekiti State: a study of organizational culture and decision-making participation while the population comprised of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Afe Babalola University (ABUAD), Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology (BOUEST) in Ikere, and Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) while the total population was 4488. The research used 367 participants drawn from the Taro Yamane (1967) model as its sample. The data was analysed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics. Mean and standard deviation were employed for descriptive analysis, and regression analysis was employed for inferential analysis. The study found that clan culture favourably affects employee commitment at the chosen colleges in Ekiti State, and the results demonstrated a significant relationship between clan culture and non-teaching staff commitment (0.000).
