Abstract
Organizational commitment has traditionally been measured by focusing on the employees' identification with the organization. Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, and Sowa have suggested that employees' commitment is affected by their perception of the organization's commitment to the employees. We propose that this type of commitment consists of both a perception of a global, organizational commitment to employees and a perception of support from supervisors. This study describes the translation of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support and the development of a Survey of Perceived Supervisory Support to measure these concepts.Keywords
