Abstract
In commitment research in the management field, the Three-Component Model (TCM) regarding workplace commitment influences so much research. In this study, by conducting a comparative analysis between TCM-1991, TCM-2001, and the concepts of attitudinal commitment and behavioral commitment, we evaluate whether TCM-1991 and TCM-2001 truly integrated attitudinal commitment and behavioral commitment. We clarified that TCM-1991 incorporated behavioral commitment in a very limited manner, it did not carry over in TCM-2001, and TCM-2001 did not sufficiently incorporate behavioral commitment. We also showed one aspect of the commitment phenomenon: the interaction of behaviors, attitudes, and conditions, and provided a new perspective for future research. This paper presents the potential of commitment research and provides suggestions regarding methodologies for commitment research.
