Antecedents of organizational commitment across occupational groups: a meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

Two models describing the different antecedents of organizational commitment (OC) were examined to show that OC correlates differently with varying antecedents depending on the occupational group. A meta-analysis was conducted of two models, a member model of personal variables and an organization model of occupational, structural and role related variables amongst blue collar workers and professional and non-professional white collar workers. Personal antecedents were found to be more forceful among nonprofessional white collar and blue collar workers, while fewer occupational distinctions were observed in the organization model.

Dispositional and contextual determinants of organizational citizenship behavior

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether dispositional factors such as Equity Sensitivity, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness can explain the link between contextual work attitudes and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). A sample of 402 professional and administrative employees from a hospital in south central US was studied. Results from usefulness analysis indicated that contextual work attitudes can predict most forms of OCB, although in the Generalized Compliance form dispositional variables were the effective predictors of OCB.
