Abstract
For a dozen years now, commitment and citizenship have been subjects of continually increasing interest in academic managerial literature. Though each benefits from a considerable body of research, study of the links between these two concepts is relatively recent. Current research does not sufficiently take conceptual advances into account. New targets of commitment (commitment to the supervisor and commitment to the workgroup) have appeared. To these, new forms of citizenship (public spiritedness and team spirit) may be added. Empirical relations between various targets of commitment and these new forms of citizenship remain to be clarified. This article proposes to explore the empirical links between affective commitment to one’s organization, superior and work group, and citizenship oriented towards the organization and the individuals to determine which targets of commitment explain which forms of citizenship.
