Abstract
The quality of information technology education depends heavily on the teaching commitment of Thai IT educators. With many universities competing for academic excellence, the quality of teaching and career satisfaction among Thai educators is often overlooked. To understand how different organizational experiences influence career satisfaction and teaching commitment, data collected from Thai IT educators reveals that organizational acceptance, training programs, and academic support influence career satisfaction. Thai universities can focus on strategies that will enhance these organizational experiences, which can lead to higher quality IT educators in Thailand.
