Information technology (IT) professionals are highly skilled and mobile. They are also not generally considered to be committed to the organisations in which they work. This research study explores the commitment of professionals to their organisation and the relationship thereof to specific antecedents and work outcomes. The three-component model of organisational commitment developed by Allen and Meyer (1990) served as the conceptual basis for this investigation. Participants consisted of forty-four IT professionals across five IT organisations in the Western Cape. Data was gathered by means of semi-structured focus groups, and five individual interviews with HR managers of these groups. Transcriptions of focus group discussions as well as individual interviews were analysed by means of thematic analysis. Results confirm those of previous research studies in the field of organisational psychology, and also indicate that other possible antecedents and consequences previously not explored may be important factors to consider in future empirical analyses. 2014-10-25T18:54:17Z 2014-10-25T18:54:17Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8763 eng application/pdf Organisational Psychology Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
