Abstract

This study explores the interaction between community commitment and organizational commitment, as well as the relations between those commitments, organizational investments in both community and workers, and worker proactive behavior. These issues are examined using a multi-organizational sample of employees from communities of two different sizes and in two different countries. Results demonstrate the parallel and interactive effects of commitment to community and to the employing organization, with organizational commitment also mediating the relationships between organizational investments and worker organizational proactive behavior. Our findings contribute to the literature by providing additional evidence for the target-neutral view of commitment and highlighting the importance of examining the interplay between work and non-work commitments. Practical implications include the importance of managing workers’ multiple commitments, not just commitment to the employing organization, to facilitate desired outcomes such as proactive behavior, as well as the efficacy of organizations investing in workers and in the community.

社区与组织承诺：了解组织投资对工人行为的影响

本研究探讨了社区承诺与组织承诺之间的相互作用，以及这些承诺、组织对社区和员工的投资与员工主动行为之间的关系。研究使用了来自两个不同国家、两个不同规模社区的多组织员工样本，对这些问题进行了研究。研究结果表明，对社区的承诺和对雇佣组织的承诺具有平行和互动的影响，组织承诺也是组织投资和工人组织主动行为之间关系的中介。我们的研究结果为目标中立的承诺观点提供了更多证据，并强调了研究工作承诺与非工作承诺之间相互作用的重要性，从而为相关文献做出了贡献。实际意义包括：管理工人的多重承诺（而不仅仅是对雇佣组织的承诺）对于促进积极主动行为等预期结果的重要性，以及组织投资于工人和社区的有效性。
