The specific objectives were to establish how access to training and social support for training affects organizational commitment. Descriptive research design was used for the study. The population consisted of non-academic staff of the three local universities in the coast region of Kenya. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling was used to arrive at the sample from the population. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. SPSS was used to analyze the data. Regression analysis was computed to establish the overall effect of employee training on organizational commitment and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to test the research hypothesis. Data was presented descriptively using tables, charts and graphs. The findings of the research indicated that all the dependent variables except support for learning had a significant positive relationship with the dependent variable. Regression analysis showed that the independent variables had a significant effect on changes in the dependent variable.
