A lot of people look at the adverse effects of social media when it comes to addiction. In the organizational context, the impact of social media addiction is considered to affect organizational commitment. This study determines the relationship between social media addiction and organizational commitment among the employees in Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia. The questionnaire has been used as a method in this study. Out of two hundred and forty-seven (247) employees in Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia, one hundred and fifty-two (152) employees have been selected equally to be sampled for this study using probability sampling technique that is simple random sampling. Through correlation analysis, it was found that there was a weak positive relationship but significant. It shows that, although the employees in Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia are pretty addicted to social media, they still have organizational commitment. Thus, the management in Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia does not have to worry about the employees' commitment. Even though they are using social media, they are still committed to the organization. Control over social media does not have to be made by the management.
