Abstract

This study examines a model relating components of organizational commitment to

positive and negative affect through the partial mediation of problem solving coping.

The results of a study conducted among a sample of 647 employees from various

organizations show that affective commitment relates positively to positive affect

and negatively to negative affect, with the relation to positive affect being partially

mediated by problem solving coping. Normative commitment was positively related

to negative affect. Finally, continuance commitment based on few alternatives was

negatively related to positive affect and positively related to negative affect, with the

relation to positive affect being partially mediated by a weaker problem solving

coping. Continuance commitment based on perceived sacrifice had no effects.
