Demographic Characteristics.

Empirically, the study examined how psychosocial career preoccupation [PCP] directly affects organizational commitment [OC] and indirectly affects the same via workplace friendship [WF] among administrative and teaching staff in public higher education institutions in Ghana. The numerical orientation to the data analysis supported the use of the explanatory research design and quantitative approach. The population included both administrative and teaching staff in public higher education institutions in Ghana with at least one year of service. Structured questionnaires were issued for the primary data collection via the convenience sampling technique and the response rate was 96% (288 valid responses from 300 approached participants). The unit of analysis was at the individual level. SMART-PLS software (version 4.1.0.8) was used for the data processing. The repeated indicator structural modelling technique was employed to configure the model reflectively to test the hypotheses. PCP fails to contribute significantly to predicting OC directly (β = 0.045, p = 0.250). However, PCP contributes significantly in a strong manner to predicting WF (β = 0.454, p本研究基于实证范式，考察加纳公立高等教育机构行政与教学人员的心理社会职业专注度（psychosocial career preoccupation, PCP）如何直接作用于组织承诺（organizational commitment, OC），并通过职场友谊（workplace friendship, WF）对组织承诺产生间接影响。本次数据分析采用量化导向，适配解释性研究设计与定量研究方法的研究框架。研究总体涵盖加纳公立高等教育机构中任职满一年的行政与教学人员。本研究通过便利抽样法发放结构化问卷以收集一手数据，共接洽300名参与者，最终回收有效问卷288份，有效回收率达96%。分析单元设定为个体层面。研究采用SMART-PLS软件（版本4.1.0.8）开展数据处理，并运用重复指标结构建模技术，通过反射式建模配置研究模型以检验各项假设。结果表明，PCP对OC的直接预测效应并不显著（β=0.045，p=0.250）；然而，PCP对WF的预测效应则呈现出显著且较强的正向作用（β=0.454，p=
