Summary:The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of technostress on organisational commitment among academic librarians in the Malaysian public higher learning institutions. It is hypothesised that technostress creators are negatively associated with organisational commitment. Self-administered survey method was utilised in gathering the required data. Technostress creators scale was employed to measure techostress level while Meyer and Allen's Organisational Commitment scale was used to measure the level of organisational commitment. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient revealed no significant inverse relationships between technostress creators and organisational commitment. Nevertheless, the results of multiple regression analysis show that technostress creators jointly explained 13.1 percent to the variance in organisational commitment.
