The research was carried out to determine the relationship between the perception of forgiveness and the level of commitment that the teachers who work in the high school institutions have. The sample of this study, based on the Nicel pattern and the relative scan model, is made by 250 teachers, including randomly selected 134 women (53.6%) and 116 men (46.4%) who work in the educational institutions located in the province of Trabzon. The data collection tool of the study was used as "Organic Forgiveness Scale" and "Organic Forgiveness Scale". The findings from the study show that there is a positive and low level of meaningful relationship between organizational forgiveness and organizational commitment. According to teachers with a high perception of forgiveness, less perception of forgiveness shows that they are more connected to the institution they work and feel like they belong to the institution. In view of the relationship between the lower dimensions of forgiveness and the organizational commitment, it has been determined that there is a low level of meaningful relationship between acceptance of forgiveness [r=196, p<.01] and the dimensions of justification of forgiveness [r=.132, p<.05] and the organizational commitment in a positive direction. On the other hand, it has been found that there is no statistical relationship between the size of forgiveness ret [r=.070, p>.05] and the organizational commitment. However, organizational forgiveness has been seen as a meaningful contributor to organizational commitment.
