Job satisfaction and organizational continuance commitment: a two-wave panel study

Abstract

The temporal relationship between job satisfaction and organizational continuance commitment over 13 months was examined in 295 professional employees of a British engineering company using LISREL with latent variables analysis. The cross-lagged path coefficients in the LISREL models were not significantly positive, suggesting that the relationship between these two variables was spurious and due to error variance. Test–retest coefficients for both variables were moderately positive, showing that the relative ranking of individuals on these variables was fairly stable over time.
