Medical librarians were surveyed to determine the independent and interactive influ ence of career and organizational commitments on work-related outcomes. Employees dually conunitted to their organizations and careers reported the highest empower ment, willingness to engage in service recovery, and work satisfaction. This group was also more aware of the supervisory use of legitimate, reward, expert, and referent powers. All four commitment groups-dually committed, careerists, organizationists, and uncommitted-reported comparable avoidance of coercive power. As predicted, the ordering of reported job withdrawal intentions (ranging from highest to lowest) was uncommitted, careerists, organizationists, and dually committed; for career with drawal intentions the ordering was uncommitted, organizationists, careerists, and dually committed.
