Measuring Organizational Commitment: A Replication of Psychometric Properties and an Analysis of the Role of Social Desirability.

Abstract

Utilizing several diverse samples (N equals 534), psychometric properties of the organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ) developed by Porter and his colleagues were assessed. Means and standard deviations, internal consistency reliability, discriminant validity, and social desirability bias was given specific attention. The results replicate the generally positive psychometric properties of the OCQ found in earlier studies. The analysis of social desirability, which has not been assessed in previous studies, does indicate that this bias may be present in the OCQ. (Author)
