Bivariate correlations have typified research on interrelationships of work commitment constructs. A model of work commitment is presented which specifies multivariate relationships among organizational commitment, career salience, work group attachment, job involvement, and the Protestant work ethic. Data from a sample of university employees reveal that multivariate findings are generally consistent with reported bivariate correlations. While four of the five hypothesized relationships in the theoretic model are supported, the study highlights the need for further conceptual and empirical work to improve the model's fit.
