Abstract. This study aims at examining impact of occupational commitment and organizational commitment upon productivity of taxation professionals in general departments of taxation in Khozestan Province (Iran) in 2014. In this descriptive and correlational study, the population consisted of taxation professionals in general departments of taxation in Khozestan Province, of which 278 participants were selected by using simple random sampling and Cochrane's formula. We gathered the data by distribution of Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer & Allen, 1991), Occupational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer & Allen, 1993), and Productivity Questionnaire (Hearsay & Goldsmith, 1980). For data analysis, we used correlational test, structural equation, and descriptive statistics.
