Employee Commitment in Times of Change: Assessing the Importance of Attitudes Toward Organizational Change †
研究258名警察在部门重组期间，其对组织变革的态度如何影响成长需求强度、控制点、内在工作动机与情感承诺之间的关系，发现态度起中介作用。
Organizations are dynamic and changing entities. Variables associated with organizational change have been shown to serve as mediators of several individual difference variable/workrelated outcome relationships. This study examines three potential antecedents of 258 police officers' attitudes toward organizational change (ATOC), and whether ATOC mediates the relationships between these antecedents and affective organizational commitment (AOC). At the time of data collection, the officers' police department was restructuring its organizational design. Structural equation modeling indicates the growth need strength/AOC relationship is fully mediated, whereas the locus of control/AOC and internal work motivation/AOC relationships are partially mediated by ATOC. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
