The study examined the relationship among occupational stress, perceived organizational support and organizational commitment in textile professionals. The sample comprised of 150 textile professionals. Three assessment measures were used along with the demographic sheet including Occupational Stress Scale (House et al., 1979), Perceived Organizational Support Scale (Eisenberger et al., 1986) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Mowday et al., 1979) were used for measuring the phenomenon. Pearson correlation and independent sample t-test were used to draw the results. The correlation analysis shows that the relationship between the occupational stress, perceived organizational support and organizational commitment is significant. In addition, it has been revealed by the independent sample t-test that there were non-significant gender disparities in all study variables. The discussion of results was held in the context of the research, which was available, the theoretical background, and the cultural aspects.
