| Abstract: | Some organizational commitment theorists have proposed that culture is an important antecedent to organizational commitment. This study tests whether individualized measures of power distance, collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity are related to an employee's level of commitment. A 9-factor model of commitment is postulated with 3 bases and 3 foci of commitment. Confirmatory factor analysis provides support for the commitment model embodying all bases and foci of commitment. Specific significant results include: 1. Power distance is related to normative commitment across all foci. 2. Uncertainty avoidance is related to continuance commitment across all foci. 3. Collectivism is related to workgroup commitment across all bases of commitment. |
