Porter Organizational Commitment Questionnaire/Evidence
Method evidence record

Porter Organizational Commitment Questionnaire

The Porter Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) measures an employee's emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in their employing organization. Developed by Porter and colleagues in 1974, the original 15-item scale captures affective commitment—the genuine belief in and support for the organization's goals and values. The OCQ is one of the most extensively researched and validated commitment measures, predicting retention, absenteeism, and performance.
