This study examines the determinants of organizational
commitment in a self-managing work team setting. The data
used in the study are from a sample of 313 employees in an
electronics manufacturing plant.
Chapter one introduces the reader to the topic of self-
managing work teams and explains the relevance of commitment
to this organizational structure. Chapter two is a review
of the literature which focuses on commitment, its
determinants, and two theories used to explain the
relationship between them. The remaining chapters describe
the methodology used in the study, explain the findings and
draw conclusions.
Of all the factors analyzed, only perceived
organizational support and autonomy were found to influence
commitment in this sample. The relevance of these findings
for business and academia is discussed.
