Descriptive statistics, multi-level structural equation modelling, and cross-level interaction assessment were used for data analysis.  The findings indicated that (1) the multi-level structural equation model of cross-level interaction of factors under study was well fitted with empirical data, and the multi-level structural equation model of the instructors’ organizational commitment was also consistent with empirical data with <img title="\chi" src="https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\chi"><sup>2</sup> = 1.011, df = 1,  p-value = 0.314, RMSEA = 0.005, CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.00, SRMR Within = 0.001, and SRMR Between = 0.032 respectively. (2)  for fixed effect, it was found that the administrator’s ethical leadership had no effect on instructors’ organizational commitment. For random effect, in each institution there was significant difference among institutions at .01 level. However, (3) the study found no cross-level effect of administrator’s ethical leadership on the relationship between organizational climate and commitment of the instructors.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Thai Journal of Nursing}, author={Chonsawat, Chonticha and Senarith, Prapatpong and Moonmuang, Sukhum}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={56–63} }
