Challenge Is Key: An Investigation of Affective Organizational Commitment in Undergraduate Interns

Organizational Commitment of Teachers: A Meta-Analysis Study for the Effect of Gender and Marital Status in Turkey

“…Nevertheless; it is not possible to mention a strict consistency in outcomes of research studies conducted about gender in the literature. Some research studies suggested that men have a higher level of organizational commitment (Dixon et al, 2005;Marsden, Kalleberg, & Cook, 1993) while some research studies showed that women have a higher level of organizational commitment (Alvi & Ahmed, 1987;Hrebineak & Alutto, 1972) while still some others demonstrated that gender does not have any significant effect (Allen & Meyer, 1990). In this study, these inconsistent results were combined within a meta-analysis framework and it is understood that gender does not play a significant role in organizational commitment perception.…”

“…This finding contradicts some ideas and research studies regarding gender within the current body of literature. In this context, it is posited that the different roles that are assigned to men and women by the society have an effect on their behaviors and, in this situation, could give rise to differentiation in many areas of organizational psychology (Aven et al, 1993;Dixon et al, 2005;Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2002).

When organizational commitment is considered in terms of marital status, it is thought that married employees have different experiences than single ones in terms of responsibility; which may have an impact on their perceptions of commitment.…”

An empirical study to determine effective factors on organizational commitment

“…In addition, Silva (2006) recommended that people who are extraverted, conscientious, and emotionally stable are more likely committed employees but they Silva not reported any relationship between organizational commitment and agreeableness. Dixon et al (2005), in other investigation, studied some challenging keys including an investigation of affective organizational commitment in undergraduate interns and reported that there are some relationship between commitment and job experience.

“…Also Sezer (2005) had stated that male teachers are more committed to their organizations. Similarly, some researches argue that females are less committed to their organization (Arbak & Kesken, 2005;Dixon et al, 2005;Yalçın & İplik, 2005).
