Abstract:
The simultaneous investigation of job, organizational, career, and community commitment on intent to leave is empirically tested in a study of 73 hospital personnel. Previous work on organizational commitment served as the proxy for definitional clarification and measurement development of a 44-item questionnaire for all commitment concepts. Three measures of the "importance" of correlated predictors are used to indicate the findings. Higher intent to leave was predicted by lower job commitment. Limitations of the study and implications of the results are discussed.
