The empirical result did not show that employees
who felt normative commitment had a positive
relationship with shared vision. Hypothesis 1B was
not supported. Although employees felt an obligation
and felt that they owed a great deal to the
organization, they might pay attention to their direct
assignment and try to reach their individual
objectives rather than focusing on the organizational
vision. The empirical study revealed that continuance
commitment had no statistical relationship
to shared vision. Hypothesis 1C was not supported.
Employees with strong continuance commitment
only did their job based on the requirements
because they had no emotional bonds and
involvement with the jobs (Becker & Kernan,
2003). People who have continuance commitment
may perform and complete the job because they
need to in order to avoid complaints from their
supervisors. They may not want to learn and follow
the organizational vision.
