A longitudinal assessment of the determinant relationship between employee commitments to the occupation and the organization
基于100名管理信息系统专业人员的纵向数据，通过交叉滞后分析发现职业承诺是组织承诺的前因，并验证了包含职业承诺的离职因果模型。
Abstract A review of the research literature suggested that occupational commitment may be an antecedent to employees' commitment to the organization. Although several studies have assessed the general relationship between occupational and organizational commitment, none have attempted to establish the causal priority between the two constructs. In the present study, occupational commitment was viewed as a causal antecedent to organizational commitment. Based on longitudinal data from 100 management information systems professionals, this view was supported through cross‐lagged analysis. Further, we examined a longitudinal causal model of the turnover process in which occupational commitment was placed as an antecedent to organizational commitment. Structural equation analysis supported the fit of this model to the data. Implications of the findings are discussed.
