Sex Differences in the Continuance Component of Organizational Commitment
研究192名男性和347名女性人力资源专业人士的组织承诺持续成分,发现女性持续承诺高于男性,且任期、教育水平和层级地位与持续承诺相关。
A total of 192 male and 347 female human resource professionals completed Allen and Meyer's Continuance Commitment Scale, assessing one of three components of organizational commitment. Women reported higher levels of continuance commitment than men. The sex differences in continuance commitment can be regarded as small to moderate following Cohen's rules of thumb regarding effect sizes. Regression analysis confirmed the relationship between sex and continuance commitment and revealed a positive relationship between tenure and continuance commitment and a negative relationship between two other variables-education level and level in the hierarchy-and continuance commitment. Findings are discussed in terms of women perceiving fewer alternatives to their current employer than men.
