The Relationship between Commitment Forms and Work Outcomes: A Comparison of Three Models
研究比较了三种关于承诺焦点与工作结果（如离职意向、实际离职和缺勤）之间关系的模型，发现Randall和Cote的模型（组织承诺和职业承诺作为中介）拟合数据最佳，对理解工作承诺的普遍形式有参考价值。
This study examined three models of the relationships between commitment foci and work outcomes such as turnover intentions, actual turnover, and absenteeism. The first is based on the traditional literature that argues that the relationship between commitment foci and outcomes is direct. The second is based on Morrow's model of universal forms of work commitment. According to this model, job involvement mediates the relationship between the other commitment foci and outcomes. The third model is based on the conceptualization proposed by Randall and Cote. According to their model organizational commitment and occupational commitment should mediate the relationship between commitment foci and out-comes. In the study 283 nurses from three small hospitals in Israel were surveyed with a response rate of 62 percent. The results of path analysis (LISREL VIII) showed a better fit to the data of the Randall and Cote model. The article concludes with implications regarding the continuing assessment of Morrow's conceptualization to establish an acceptable definition and measurement of universal forms of work commitment.
