Organizational commitment and well-being at work: investigating alternative models of association
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.7076Keywords:
Well-being at work, organizational commitment, validity, model testingAbstract
This study aimed to verify the association between well-being at work (WBW) and organizational commitment (COMM) and to determine whether they behave as equivalent phenomena, correlated phenomena, or whether well-being is an antecedent or a consequence of commitment. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional study, with a survey applied to 360 workers from various organizations. Correlation analyses, linear regression, and structural equation modeling were used. Evidence of discriminant validity was found between COMM and WBW. There is evidence for the hypothesis that the association between WBW and COMM is cyclical, based on feedback, which is a possible explanation for the contradiction found in the literature regarding the pattern of association between these phenomena. The association between these two phenomena could be seen as a process, a flow, whose complexity may be more difficult for cross-sectional research to grasp.
