组织承诺的因果关系模型是在前人理论和研究的基础上发展起来的。该模型包括来自先前研究中确定的四类前因中的每一类的变量（即，个人需要、工作特点、角色状态和工作经验），以及员工的工作满意度和心理健康。它进行了测试，使用非专业员工的样本和专业人士的样本的调查答复。使用路径分析，支持在两组中的许多假设的路径，但领域的错误specification被发现。模型修订分别进行两组和差异突出显示。特别是，个体变量对假设模型中包含的变量的影响在两组中有显著差异。这些研究结果的影响，以及实质性的和方法的方向，为今后的研究进行了讨论。
A causal model of organizational commitment was developed from previous theory and research. The model included variables from each of the four categories of antecedents identified in previous research (i.e., personal needs, job characteristics, role states, and work experiences), as well as employees' job satisfaction and mental health. It was tested using survey responses from a sample of nonprofessional employees and a sample of professionals. Using path-analysis, support was found for many of the hypothesized paths in both groups, yet areas of misspecification were found. Model revisions were performed separately for both groups and differences were highlighted. In particular, the influence of individual variables on the variables included in the hypothesized model differed markedly across the two groups. Implications of these findings, as well as substantive and methodological directions for future research, were discussed.
