Does Cultural Socialization Predict Multiple Bases and Foci of Commitment?
研究检验了权力距离、集体主义、不确定性规避和男性气质等文化维度对员工在组织、主管和工作组三个对象上的情感、持续和规范承诺的影响，发现文化维度能显著预测多重承诺基础与对象。
Some organizational commitment theorists have proposed that culture is an important antecedent to organizational commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1991; Wiener, 1982). This study tests whether individualized measures of power distance, collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity are related to an employee’s level of commitment. A nine-factor model of commitment is postulated with three bases (affective, continuance, and normative commitment) and three foci (organization, supervisor, and workgroup) of commitment. Confirmatory factor analysis provides support for the commitment model embodying all bases and foci of commitment. Hierarchical regression analysis results also suggest that cultural dimensions are significant predictors of multiple bases and foci of commitment. Specific significant results include: (1) Power distance is related to normative commitment across all foci; (2) Uncertainty avoidance is related to continuance commitment across all foci; and (3) Collectivism is related to workgroup commitment across all bases of commitment.
