Commitment, Motivational Sources, Performance, Job Satisfaction, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Among Air Force ROTC Cadets

Abstract

The present study examined relationships between organizational commitment and performance, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviors, and four general motivational categories in an Air Force ROTC setting. A review of the organizational commitment literature was conducted and several hypotheses were developed. Regression analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. Results indicate overall positive support for most of the hypotheses. Affective commitment was significantly, positively related to several of the performance measures, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviors, and the 'idealistic' motivational category. Implications for the Air Force (and other organizations) are discussed.
