Organizational types, commitment, and managerial actions

Article Abstract:

Differences between organizational types within sectors are likely to be more significant determinants of employee commitment than the presumed sectoral distinctions between public and private. This was gleaned from an examination of the possible relationships between different types of commitment and a variety of organizational settings. A set of propositions linking the four organizational types of production, procedural, craft and coping organizations to different types of organizational commitment were developed to prove that different types of organizations need to rely on different types of commitment to ensure favorable performance and that managerial actions need to be consistent with these needs to be effective.
