Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between social status and professional commitment by mediating the organizational identity among the physical educators in Rasht. The present research is a practical survey that has been performed by using the data gathered through the questionnaire from 265 physical educators (whole population). The validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed by experts (19 scholars). Its reliability was examined by Cronbach's alpha and combined reliability. Structural equation modeling using SPSS and PNS software was applied to analyze the data and to evaluate the fitness of the model. The results showed that social status has a positive and significant effect on professional commitment and organizational identity. Furthermore, organizational identity directly and positively affects professional commitment and accounts for its variation approximately. The effect of the social status on professional commitment was also indirectly explained through organizational commitment. There was a positive and significant relationship between social status and the experience and the status of employment. Also, the result demonstrated an inverse and significant relationship between educational status and social status. Therefore, it is suggested to educators in the city of Rasht to increase the educational status and social status of educators in the field of promoting their organizational identity, thereby enhancing the commitment of physical education teachers to the profession and ultimately increasing education organization.
