    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This quantitative study, utilizing an explanatory research design, investigated the key factors influencing employee commitment in the public health sector, focusing on Mekane Selam General Hospital. Data was collected from e total populations of 289 employees sample of 160 employees using simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation and regression analysis, through SPSS v.27. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the dependent variable (employee commitment) had a strongly positive correlation with the independent variables of career development (r=0.768), performance appraisal (r=0.652), and work place environment (r=0.680), while leadership style had a moderately positive correlation (r=0.594). This indicates that all the independent variables were significantly correlated with employee commitment in the studied health facilities. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation analysis result indicated that there is a significant and strongly positive correlation between the dependent variable (employee commitment) and independent variables (career development (p&amp;lt;0.00), leadership style (p&amp;lt;0.00), working environment (p&amp;lt;0.00), and performance appraisal (p&amp;lt;0.00). Collectively, the four independent variables accounted for 75 % of the variance in employee commitment, with the remaining 25 % explained by other variables. The study recommends that the health sector should assess employee training needs, invest in capacity-building initiatives, and involve employees in the development of strategic plans to enhance their commitment. Additionally, the health sector should review and align their policies and practices related to career development, leadership style, working environment, and performance appraisal to create a more committed and engaged workforce.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
