Davis (1981) offered a model of
factors affecting organizational commitment and its consequences.
The population of this research is faculty members and staff of nonprofit
university in the United States. Remarkably, most of the
existing research on organizational commitment of faculty members
used the standard questionnaires of Allen and Meyer (1990) (e.g.
Eisinga et al., 2010; Smeenk et al., 2006; Joiner and Bakalis, 2006)
and questionnaires of Mowday et al. (1979), (e.g., Davis, 1981).
