An Exploratory study of the links between job level, social class and workplace commitment: theory and empirical evidence

This study examines the empirical evidence linking workplace commitment with job level and organisation-based self-esteem. Theoretical determinants of organisation-based self-esteem are compared with the observed relationships with social class measures. Comparisons are made with the observed relationships between social class measures and job involvement, work involvement, and career, affective, continuance and normative commitments. Implications for future research are noted.
