Symbolic Violence and its Relationship with Organizational Commitment: A Comparative Study of a Sample of Faculty Members and Their Assistants at Beni Suef University

The current study aimed to explore the levels of symbolic violence and organizational commitment within the Faculties of Arts and Science at Beni Suef University, as well as to examine the relationship between symbolic violence, with its various dimensions (devaluation, moral denial, psychological alienation, and aggressive expression), and organizational commitment, with its different dimensions (affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment) within the studied faculties.
The researcher adopted the social survey method through a sample, in addition to the comparative method, using a scale for symbolic violence and another for organizational commitment on a sample of 292 faculty members and their assistants in the Faculty of Arts (as a representative of theoretical faculties) and the Faculty of Science (as a representative of practical faculties) at Beni Suef University, in addition to conducting a number of personal interviews.
The results of the study revealed a moderate level of symbolic violence within the Faculty of Arts and a low level in the Faculty of Science, in addition to a moderate degree of organizational commitment in both faculties, with a significant negative correlation between symbolic violence and organizational commitment within the faculties."
