INTRODUCTION
Organizational Commitment has received more attention in organizational research and practice because of its positive outcomes(Imran et al., 2014).Many research has been done to exam the antecedents of commitment with an aim to find the most significant factors that determine OC. Earlier studies(Meyer & Allen, 1997) suggests that there are many antecedents of OC, such as work experiences, personal and organizational factors, and human resource practices. Most literature however focused on developed countries(Chew & Chan, 2008; Yamao & Sekiguchi, 2015), while others have examined the effect of the practices of human resource practice on OC among the emerging nations (Aladwan et al., 2015; Lamba & Choudhary, 2013; Nik & Sharmin, 2009). Indeed, third world countries have a unique context that differs from the developed countries context. Thus, there is a call for research to revitalize Recruitment & Selection one of the HRM practices in all cultural contexts. In line with the discussion, Arabic countries possess unique social and cultural values that affect hugely on managerial functions(Aladwan et al., 2015). Altarawneh (2009) reported that behaviours of individual and managerial practices in Arabic countries are affected significantly by the cultures of these countries. In previous studies, the culture was found as an important mediator among the various stakeholders (Aladwan et al., 2015; Yamao & Sekiguchi, 2015; Zaitouniet al., 2011). Tribalism remains a major cultural factor in many Arab countries, particularly in Yemen. Tribalism in Yemen is responsible for underdevelopment and corruption, serving a great obstacle that stands in the way of democracy and socio-economic development (Baabbad, 2015; Fattah, 2011). It is argued that with the presence of tribalism, the commitment and loyalty to tribe will be greater than the commitment and loyalty to the country or organization(Manea, 1996). Therefore, is expected that this study will contribute to enriching the existent literature through investigating the culture influential effect
