CHAPTER 6 HYPOTHESES The first set of hypotheses addresses the perceived broad association between locus of control and attachment style, and how attachment style predicts organizational commitment and relationship commitment. H1: Locus of control will be associated with attachment style. H2: Attachment style will be associated with organizational commitment and relationship commitment. The second set of predictions builds on the first hypotheses and research on perceived predictors of organizational commitment. The findings by Coleman and colleagues (1999) that individuals with internal locus of control report higher affective commitment than individuals with external locus of control raise the possibility securely attached individuals will also report higher affective commitment. Additionally, Hazan and Shaver (1990) found that securely attached individuals reported higher job satisfaction than other attachment groups, and job satisfaction has been a significant correlate of affective commitment (Meyer et al., 2002). H3: Individuals characterized by secure attachment will exhibit higher affective commitment than those with anxious or avoidant attachment styles.
