Data collection was done through 2 standard questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using correlation tests and one-way ANOVA by SPSS 20.
Results: According to the results of this study, normative commitment was statistically associated with the quality of services (P = 0.03; r = 0.33) as well as its 2 dimensions of guarantee (p = 0.04; r = 0.35) and reliability (p = 0.05; r = 0.34). Also a significant positive relationship was found between the continuance commitment and reliability (p = 0.04; r = 0.30).
