This research paper aimed to assess the antecedents of Organizational Citizenship Behavior focusing on Organizational Commitment among Resort Employees in the CALABARZON Region. Specifically, it aimed to present the profile of the respondents, assess the organizational commitment among resort employees in terms of: affective, continuance, and normative; and propose an action plan based on the result of the study. This study used descriptive method with 32 DOT accredited resorts in CALABARZON Region as the respondents. Findings revealed that the organizational commitment of resort employees is on the moderate level in terms of affective, continuance and normative. Inputs to DOT Accreditation among resorts are proposed based on the result of the study. Among the recommendations include the implementation of programs to increase the attachment of the employees to the organization, improvement on the benefit package provided for the employees, and conducting career development planning with employees to increase their loyalty to the company.
