Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between perceived support and affective commitment and the impact of affective commitment on work effort and intention to leave the organization among Korean fitness club employees. In addition, the moderating role of collectivism on the relationship between affective commitment and work outcomes was also examined. The data provided by 330 Korean fitness club employees were analyzed using structural equation modeling and regression analyses. The results of confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling showed that the proposed model fit reasonably well. Perceived Support explained 76% of variance in Affective Commitment and along with Affective Commitment, explained 42.6% of variance in Work Effort. In addition, Affective Commitment by itself explained 62.9% of variance in Intention to Leave. Finally, regression analyses showed that collectivism moderated the relationship between affective commitment and work effort. Practical and theoretical significance of these results are discussed.
