Employee Commitment to Organizational Change: Test of the Three-Component Model in Indian Context

摘要

The study aims to check whether the three-component model of commitment to change proposed by Herscovitch and Meyer is applicable in an Indian context. The three dimensions of commitment to change considered for the study are affective, continuance, and normative commitment to change. Data were collected via survey from employees who have been part of major transformational change like restructuring, merger, and acquisition from various organizations across manufacturing and IT sectors. A total of 305 responses were obtained and the data were subjected to exploratory factor analysis. The results demonstrated that affective and continuance commitment are clearly distinguishable; however, the normative commitment items loaded into two factors rather than one. The results provided evidence for potential cultural differences in the three-component model of commitment to change.View full textDownload full textKEYWORDScommitment to change, Herscovitch and Meyer, organizational change, three-component modelRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15475778.2011.623654
