The Study Of Employee's Organizational Commitment In The Region Of Pearl River Delta And ChangSha

Organizational commitment (OC) is a very important concept in the research of organizational behavior, and is also very crucial to the survival and development of any organization. Based on Professor. Ling's study of Chinese Employees' Organizational Commitment, we conducted a research of employee's OC in the region of Pearl River Delta and the city of Changsha by means of questionnaire.This research showed the following results:(1)The structure of Chinese employee's organizational commitment includes four factors: Ideal Commitment, Normative Commitment, Affective Commitment and Continuance Commitment.(2)There is no significant difference of the four factors and the overall level of OC between Stated owned, Private Owned and Joint Venture or Foreign Owned Enterprises in the region of Pearl River Delta. However, employees of Stated Owned companies in Changsha showed lower Ideal Commitment than which in Pearl River Delta.(3)In this study, sex didn't affect commitment. Age and tenure has a negative effect on Ideal Commitment but a positive effect on Continuance Commitment. Education has a positive effect on Ideal Commitment but a negative effect on Continuance Commitment. Married employees show higher Continuance Commitment but lower Ideal Commitment than unmarried Ones. People who need to raise a family also have higher Continuance Commitment than those who only need to serve themselves. Employees who ever change work organization have higher Ideal Commitment than those who never done this.
