Organizational commitmentIn contrast to job satisfaction’s potential for skewed effects to the high end of a PL scale, organizational commitment plays exactly the opposite role (Brown and Peterson, 1994; Babakus et al., 1996; Boles et al., 2012). Johnston et al. (1990) studied salespeople’s organizational commitment and found that even moderate levels of commitment can a have a strong restraining effect on the employee’s PL. Their finding of a strong negative correlation ( 726) between organizational commitment and turnover intentions is the strongest relationship found in a literature review on PL.It is likely the more enduring nature of commitment, as compared to the temporal aspects of satisfaction, which earns it this important role in influencing low-PL scores. Blau and Boal (1987) define organizational commitment as “a state in which an employee identifies with a particular organization and its goals, and he/she wishes to maintain membership in the organization in order to facilitate its goals” (p. 290). This strong commitment to the firm can help one endure a bad relationship with the current supervisor, and even a period of poor earnings. Consistent with prior literature, we expect to find a negative relationship between organizational commitment and PL.
