THE EFFECTS OF WORKLOAD AND CAREER CAPPING ON THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG MANAGERS

Abstract

This article relates three concepts that
are among the most important concerns of human
resources managers: workload, career capping and
organizational commitment. A quantitative survey of
1134 managers affiliated to the French Confederation
of Management – General Confederation of Managers
has allowed us, using structural equation modeling, to
conduct a statistical hypothesis testing and validation
of the research model through Exploratory Factor
Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The
results revealed a positive correlation between on
the one hand workload and career capping and, on
the other hand, the calculated dimension of organizational commitment. There is also a negative
correlation between these two variables and organizational normative commitment. The emotional
dimension has a significant positive link only with
the career capping.
