Abstract

Affective organizational and occupational commitment is crucial for organizations. It has been proven that usage of High Commitment Management (HCM) practices improves affective organizational commitment, but no attention was paid to its influence on occupational type of commitment. They also measured direct influence of national culture on both construct; however, their findings often did not support with each other. By conducting a comparative research among university employees in the Netherlands and Poland HCM was proven to positively influence affective organizational and occupational commitment. Obtaining mixed results from moderated linear regression (only one cultural dimension had actual impact on the correlation between HCM and a focus of commitment) led to leaving the issue of influence of national culture on this correlation. Yet, there are perquisites that led to conclusion that confirmatory studies need to be done in the future to support these findings.
