The job embeddedness (JE) theory has gained popularity for explaining how individuals' links to their administrations impact organizational commitment (OM). In academia, university teachers have an important role in molding educational outcomes, but their service to the institution is neglected. The purpose of this research is to examine how JE affects university teachers' OM and intention to leave their jobs. Data were gathered from 300 university teachers via survey questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized in this research to assess five hypotheses involving JE, organizational fit (OF), social and professional links (SPL), and perceived sacrifice (PS) as independent variables, with organizational commitment level (OCL) and turnover intention (TI) as dependent variables and combined effect (CE) as moderate. The data was analyzed with SPSS software version 29, and the connections between variables were assessed using both measurement and structural models. The findings indicate that increasing JE considerably increases OML among university professors, with OF and SPL having major positive effects. Furthermore, PS is shown to lower TI, and the combined effect of the OF considerably reduces TI more than each factor. This research emphasizes the significance of developing good OF and social relationships in increasing university teachers' assurance of the university
