Organizational and Client Commitment among Contracted Employees: A Replication and Extension with Temporary Workers
Connelly, Catherine E.; Gallagher, Daniel G.; Gilley, K. Matthew
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v70 n2 p326-335 Apr 2007
This study replicates and extends Coyle-Shapiro and Morrow's study (Coyle-Shapiro, J.A.-M., & Morrow, P.C. 2006. Organizational and client commitment among contracted employees. "Journal of Vocational Behavior, 28," 416-431) of organizational and client commitment among contracted employees. Our study focuses on temporary workers rather than long-term contracted employees, and also finds that perceived organizational support (POS) from a client organization indeed relates to affective organizational commitment towards the client. However, this study further suggests that client POS also relates to continuance commitment towards the client as well as affective and continuance commitment towards the temporary agency. Finally, temporary workers' desire to pursue temporary work relates to affective commitment towards the temporary agency, but continuance commitment to the temporary agency is related to a preference for permanent employment.
