Abstract

An emerging paradigm of self organizing systems suggests that in order to cope with increasing environmental uncertainty, organizations need to qualitatively restructure themselves on a continual basis. For this to happen successfully, there must be commitment by organizational members to the change. This paper investigated the conditions under which commitment to the radical change of self organizing systems will increase. The dimensions of self-organizing systems (SOS) were operationalized based on: creation of autonomous fluctuations, self-transcendence, meta-cooperation, and teleonomy. Empirical data was used to investigate the relationships between characteristics of SOS and organizational commitment (OC). Using a LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) approach, findings indicate that an increase in OC is associated with attention to the characteristics of SOS. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
