In this study, we employ corporate governance framework to analyze organizational behavior in universities. We conduct a survey which involves 120 respondents contains of dean, rector and vice rector and university academic board from 19 Muhammadiyah universities in Indonesia. The results show that university governance has positive effect on affective and continuance commitment in universities.
