Profiles of dual commitment to the company and union: Relations to turnover intentions and organizational citizenship behavior

摘要

In commitment research it is getting more and more attention to identify homogeneous subgroups with varying configurations of commitment foci and mindsets. The union and the company are two dominant forces in labor relations. We identified profiles of commitment to them in a sample of 1395 employees of Chinese non-state-owned enterprises. Using latent profile analyses, we distinguished six distinct profiles, full commitment, EB-dominant, AC/NC-dominant, moderate commitment, CC-dominant, and uncommitted. Turnover intentions and two dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior varied across six distinct profile groups. Implications of result are discussed.
