“…The relationship between the meaning of work and affective commitment is the strongest of them (highest Beta) and psychological distress is the weakest. The conclusion that one can make from this data is that the respondents considered that the greater the perception that their work has meaning, the greater their affective commitment to it is, reinforcing the idea that the FFE identifies with the organization and establishes a relationship that involves positive emotions (Meyer and Herscovitch, 2001). …”

“…The present study is limited to studying affective commitment, whose scale, as developed by Meyer and Allen (1991), has been shown to be more consistent when applied to the considered sample. Affective commitment reflects the emotional tie that results from identification with an organization or its leadership (Meyer and Herscovitch, 2001). Among the qualifications for commitment, affective commitment stands out due to its association with other important organizational constructs such as low turnover and good performance (Meyer et al, 2002).…”

One of the main challenges of human resources management in public administration is to make sure that civil servants are committed to and driven by values of the public ethos. Understanding the elements that give meaning to their work can be a way to take pertinent action, leaving aside the stigma and misinterpretation of the relationship between individuals and their work in the public sector. This article aims to assess the antecedent factors of our central construct, meaning of work, and its relationships with psychological well-being, psychological distress and affective commitment for forensic experts in the Federal Police. It is a quantitative study that uses confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results show that forensic experts find meaning in their work through its social utility and the opportunities they have to learn and develop. Meaning is positively related to psychological well-being and affective commitment, and negatively related to psychological distress. This study discusses the results of applying this model in light of a managerial accountability framework to develop the civil service and concludes that it offers a good contribution to human resources management in the public sector, making it possible to discuss factors that favor the experience of commitment and psychological quality of life in the work environment. Keywords: meaning of work; psychological well-being; psychological distress; organizational commitment; Federal Police.O trabalho e seus sentidos: um estudo com peritos criminais da Polícia Federal Servidores públicos comprometidos e orientados por valores do éthos público é um dos principais desafios da gestão de pessoas. Conhecer o que lhes dá sentido ao trabalho pode ser um caminho para ações pertinentes, fora de estigmas e más interpretações sobre a relação entre o indivíduo e seu trabalho no setor público. O propósito deste artigo é avaliar os fatores antecedentes da experiência de sentido do trabalho, bem como sua relação com bem-estar psicológico, sofrimento psicológico e comprometimento afetivo em peritos criminais da Polícia Federal. 1059Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza quantitativa, com uso de análise fatorial confirmatória e modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados indicam que os peritos veem sentido em seu trabalho, o qual advém de sua utilidade social e das oportunidades de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. O sentido está positivamente relacionado com bem-estar psicológico e comprometimento afetivo e negativamente com sofrimento psicológico. São discutidos os resultados da aplicação do modelo à luz de um marco de responsabilidade gerencial para desenvolvimento da função pública e conclui-se que ele oferece boa contribuição para gestão de pessoas no setor público possibilitando discutir fatores que favorecem a experiência de comprometimento e qualidade de vida psíquica no ambiente de trabalho.

“…The main thrust of the notion of commitment is that it can influence individual actions independently of other factors. Indeed, as a stabilizing psychological configuration giving direction to behavior, commitment can "lead to persistence in a course of action even in the face of conflicting motives or attitudes" and may even "lead individuals to behave in ways that, from the perspective of neutral observers, might seem contrary to their own self-interest" (Meyer & Herscovitch, 2001).…”

“…Commitment research has long recognized that commitment can take different forms or bases (e.g., affective, continuance, normative) and be directed toward different targets or foci such as organizations, occupations, unions and supervisors (Meyer, Becker & Vandenberghe, 2004;Meyer & Herscovitch, 2001). In this study, only one form of commitment is considered, affective organizational commitment.…”

This study examines affective commitment to employing and client organizations among long-term contracted employees, a new and growing employment classification. Drawing on organizational commitment and social exchange literatures, we propose two categories of antecedents of employee commitment to client organizations. We tested our hypotheses using a survey collected from employees in four UK contracting organizations delivering a service on behalf of a government entity. The results suggest that perceived client organizational support and attractiveness of the client organization relate positively to employees' affective commitment to the client organization. Furthermore, affective contractor commitment explained unique variation in client affective commitment beyond that accounted for by the client-based predictors, suggesting that employees' commitment to their own contracting organization is important to explaining employees' commitment to the client organization. We suggest that a greater reliance on social exchange theory may provide a basis for understanding commitment in its different forms and foci.
