Organizational Commitment: Three Research Models Proposal

Organizational commitment is a vital subject for all organizations that are trying to establish asustainable business model. In all studies examining the effects of variables on organizationalcommitment, the research models are designed as all three dimensions of the organizationalcommitment are distinct variables that are not affecting each other. This research model is validif the researcher is only trying to investigate the effects of the independent variables on thedimensions. However, if the organizational commitment is being investigated, then the researchmodels should be different. This study tries to examine how the research models should bedesigned as per research purpose and demonstrates the difference between currently used andthe proposed research models by using a sample dataset from a previous study.
