Females were more strongly committed to their organizations than males (p<.001). While this finding was consistent with research that has treated commitment as an instrumental attachment to organizational membership (Hrebiniak and Alutto, 1972), it had not been expected in the present study, since the OCQ appears to tap a form of commitment that is conceptually very close to work involvement (Dubin, Champoux, and Porter, 1975) and, historically, women have been lessinvolved than men in their work (Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1973; Taveggia and Ziemba, 1978).The rationale usually presented for such findings is that females enjoy less interorganizational mobility than males and, therefore, tend to become restricted to their present organizations. In the present research, demographic differences alone would have predicted higher commitment for males
