Work-related commitment and job performance: it's also the nature of the performance that counts

Article Abstract:

The influence of the nature of job performance on employees' work-related commitment was investigated. Empirical results showed a positive correlation between career commitment and task proficiency, suggesting that attachment to one's career may motivate employees to focus on work activities that provide clear evidence of competence, resulting in career advancement. Job commitment was found to be related only to performance that is beneficial to employers and tends to negatively affect career commitment. In addition, both affective commitment and continuance commitment to the organization are unrelated to job performance.

Interdimensional correlations in individual and dyadic performance ratings

Article Abstract:

The interdimensional correlations in employee performance ratings in individual and dyadic settings were investigated. The objectives were to determine whether interdimensional correlations are higher when dyads are rated instead of individuals and whether interdimensional correlations in dyadic rating environments are higher when raters already have prior general impressions of the ratees. Empirical data from the 1992 Winter Olympics showed that observed correlations among rating dimensions are higher when dyads rather than individuals are rated. This is particularly true when ratees have recently rated the employees.
