| Abstract: | This multilevel study investigates affective antecedents of organizational commitment. 230 individuals from 56 working groups
were surveyed in eight mainland Chinese firms. The results showed that frequently experienced feelings of guilt and determination
in organizations were positively related to increased organizational commitment. In addition, the increase of intragroup relationship
conflict strengthened the negative association between chaotic emotions and organizational commitment. The findings suggest
that the overall commitment to an organization is related to certain emotions in an organizational setting. This study, which
employed a large sample from mainland China, proved consistent with past theory and empirical evidence from the West. A multilevel
model of affective events theory with wide applicability is correspondingly proposed. |
