An assessment of occupational and organizational commitment: A multivariate analysis

Data from 120 park and forest rangers were used to empirically assess the relative impact of sociodemographic, attitudinal, and organizational factors on both occupational and organizational commitment. Through the use of multiple regression analysis, sociodemographic and attitudinal factors were shown generally to bear a positive relationship to both types of commitment. Upon further analysis of partials based on type of occupation, some specification of the original relationships was noted, thereby indicating a note of caution in generalizing findings concerning occupational and organizational commitment from one group of occupational practitioners to another.
