Abstract

In a previous review of the literature, Morrow (1983) identified a redundancy or overlap among the various measures of commitment. The present study employed a factor analytic design to examine the intercorrelations among various job, organizational, and value commitment scales. In addition, possible consequences of the various scales were analyzed. Results from 216 police officers identified a general factor as well as unique components. The commitment scales were able to explain between 20% and 40% of the variance of several self‐report measures. Explanations and implications of the results were discussed.
