The Effects of Internal and External Equity on Components of Organizational Commitment:An Empirical Study in the Egyptian Hotel Sector

摘要

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative importance of employee perception of internal equity versus employee perception of external equity in predicting each of the components of organisational commitment (affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment) in the Egyptian hotel sector. Data were collected through a direct swvey in which 368 randomly-chosen employees completed anonymous questionnaires. 328 respondents were non-managers while 48 were managerial employees. Respondents were drawn from hotels located in Cairo and Alexandria. The results show that perception of internal equity is more important than perception of external equity in predicting each of the components of organizational commitment.
