摘要

This study developed and tested two rival views of how organizational commitment can be reconceptualized to accommodate both global organizational commitment and constituency-specific commitments. In the first view, organizational commitment is just one of many independent commitments; in the second, it is a key mediating construct. Results of structural equations modeling used to test the two competing views indicate that the key mediating construct model best represents the relationships between constituency-specific commitments, global organizational commitment, and important organizational outcomes.
