Concept Redundancy in Organizational Research: The Case of Work Commitment
分析了五种工作承诺形式（如组织承诺、工作投入等）之间的理论关系，发现它们部分冗余、区分度不足，并提出了改进研究方向的建议。
A facet design describing the theoretical and empirical interrelationships among five forms of work commitment (Protestant work ethic, career salience, job involvement/work as a central life interest, organizational commitment, and union commitment) is presented. The analysis reveals that these concepts are partially redundant and insufficiently distinct to warrent continued separation. Suggestions for advancing the study of work commitment are rendered.
