The research used quantitative approach and a cross-sectional study design. This study's sample size was 160 civil servants from the Ministry of State Secretariat. Simple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data in this study. The results show that perceived organizational support positively and significantly affects affective organizational commitment. The regression analysis test yielded a regression coefficient value of 0.726. The R Square value of 0.465 indicates that the perceived organizational support variables can explain 46,5% of the affective organizational commitment variable, while other variables explain the rest.
