The multidimensional view of commitment and the theory of reasoned action: A comparative evaluation
比较了承诺的多维视角与理性行为理论在解释员工意图和预测工作行为(如准时和利他行为)上的能力,发现理性行为理论在解释意图上更优,但承诺的多维视角在预测实际行为上解释更多独特方差。
This study examined the relative ability of the multidimensional view of commitment and the theory of reasoned action to explain employee intentions and predict work behavior. Variables within the theory of reasoned action were superior to commitment in explaining employee intentions to be punctual and to engage in altruistic acts. However, the theory of reasoned action did not explain unique variance in either volitional behavior (altruism) or in less volitional behavior (tardiness). Finally, foci and bases of employee commitment accounted for significant variance in both altruism and tardiness, and explained variance in both behaviors over and above variables contained within the theory of reasoned action. Implications of these findings for the usefulness of the approaches are discussed.
