Discriminant Validity of the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire

The 15-item Organizational Commitment Questionnaire's discriminant validity vis-à-vis a measure of withdrawal cognitions was estimated using LISREL. The data were provided by a sample of 176 air traffic controllers. The results of the analyses indicated that, although the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire's discriminant validity problems are not considerable, some of its items should be eliminated. Examination of the factor structure is encouraged.
